Awesome! That did the trick! Thanks!
It got me to the login screen. After I logged-in I had a black/white
background and that's about it.
I got out, did a gnome-cleanup, and things were (mostly) back to normal.
Regards,

btw, the (mostly) part had to do with terminals not displaying info
correctly or me not being able to ssh into the system.
I did a chmod 0666 /dev/ptmx as instructed in this CR:
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=12380
and, everything is cool once again.

Well, I tried to upgrade from OpenSolaris 127 to 134, and gdm doesn't
start.
If I remove the xorg.conf file, my dual monitor setup gets pointers on
each monitor, but that's it.
There is no mention of any problem relating to this in the 134 notes.
I did see that /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/GL was pointing to
somewhere non-existent, but the instructions in the 130 release notes no
longer apply:
u...@host$ pfexec rm /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/GL
u...@host$ pfexec ln -s ../../../../../var/run/opengl/server \
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/GL
That is, there ain't an opengl/server directory in 134.
From looking through an Xorg.0.log file,I also found that libglx.so
symbolic links in these directories were broken:
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/amd64
so, I took a swag and redirected them to:
/usr/lib/mesa/modules/extensions
/usr/lib/mesa/modules/extensions/amd64
as appropriate.
No joy.
You appear to have manually loaded the NVIDIA driver, which as you found
out the X and GLX modules were removed during the upgrade when IPS
thought the directories were empty.
For the GeForce 8600 GTS, the bundled build 134 driver should work fine.
What happens if you do:
$ pfexec pkg install driver/graphcis/nvidia
$ pfexec reboot -p
