I've got a desktop machine with Solaris 10 x86 (01/06 release)
installed, with an NVIDIA Geforce XFX5200 graphics card installed.
I have configured it to use Xorg instead of Xsun - and it works fine and
dandy, no problems with that...
Until I install the NVIDIA proprietary drivers for Solaris and try to
use them.
The "nv" driver (Solaris default) work fine (if a little slow and choppy
on the graphics!) but as soon as I download the
NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-1.0-8762.run graphics driver and install it using "sh
NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-1.0-8762.run", then change the driver in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf to "nvidia", X no longer wants to load at all.
in fact it locks the machine locally (even the keyboard interrupt gets
frozen - CAPS lock light no longer lights up on keyboard!)
I have tried this a number of times (going as far as reinstalling the OS
a few times!) and nothing seems to work.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
