Okay, so I have OpenSolaris installed, but I have a few problems.  First off, I 
originally had Ubuntu installed, but it doesn't support my nVidia 9800GTX yet.  
So, I decided to give OpenSolaris a try.  It appears to at least support the 
9800.  I have X11 working at my screen's full resolution (1900x1200), which is 
at least a positive sign, but it appears the nvidia driver is not enabled.  I 
can't enable desktop settings (so I can use compizfusion), and when I open the 
nVidia X Server Setting, it says:

"You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X 
configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X 
server."

I'm a bit of a newb, so I tried entering su, and then I typed 'nvidia-xconfig' 
and the terminal said:

WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file.

sh: line 1: pkg-config: not found
sh: line 1: pkg-config: not found
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

So that's where I'm stuck.

Next, when I erased the hard drive that Ubuntu was on and installed 
Opensolaris, it looks like it kept the old Grub that Ubuntu was using active.  
I dual boot with windows vista, and the grub appears to be on the vista hard 
drive.  So, when I boot up the computer, it stops at a grub failure, unless I 
disconnect the windows hard drive, and then I boot up into Opensolaris.  So, I 
need to find a way to get rid of the Ubuntu grub.  

One last thing, I tried installing Magic VLSI and it gave me the error: 
"Configuration Summary (principle requirements):

-n X11:          
yes
-n OpenGL:       
yes
-n Tcl/Tk:       
yes (version 8.4)
-n BLT:          
no

  Tcl/Tk magic uses the BLT package to create a tree diagram
  of the cell hierarchy in a design.  Without it, this option
  is unavailable.  Consider installing the BLT package."

I can't find this BLT package anywhere, when I google it, I just get 
sandwiches.  Anyway, if I can get help for those three issues, I'd greatly 
appreciate it.  Thanks!
