Sorry, but it would have been nice to receive an answer to the question if it 
actually was supposed to work ... :)

I haven't given up yet to get the updated install to work.
No clue how to handle the SUNWiiimr error, but it seems minor:
svcs -vx is without fail.

What bugs me next is the failure to start X. But also this one has an 
explanation at hand:

[i]
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(WW) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420 GPU installed in this system is
(WW) NVIDIA(0):     supported through the NVIDIA 96.43.xx Legacy drivers.
(WW) NVIDIA(0):     Please visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for
(WW) NVIDIA(0):     more information.  The 100.14.19 NVIDIA driver will ignore
(WW) NVIDIA(0):     this GPU.  Continuing probe... 
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found[/i]

At least, all that is true. Now the question creeps up: How to uninstall 
100.14.19 and install 96.43.xx Legacy ? I tried, but there was no lynx nor 
links to go to that site.
[Question aside of this case: Why does nv78 upgrade if it knows that it can't 
support the card ?]
So I went to ssh into another box, issued lynx. But strangely enough, it failed 
with "Error opening terminal: sun-color". I couldn't find this in Google, not a 
single hit. With nv70, no problem doing the same thing.

Whatever. Another question: I changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf to 'vesa', but it 
insisted on complaining about the missing device.
What is the command in (Open)Solaris to start autoconfiguration (something 
compared to X -configure) ?

Okay, if this was a bug report, it would be too many in one. But here I dare to 
ask these 4 questions:
1. Update 70->78 - Is it supposed to work ?
2. How to uninstall 100.14.19 and install 96.43.xx Legacy ?
3. Why does lynx fail with "Error opening terminal: sun-color" ?
4. What is the command to start autoconfiguration of X ?

Thanks for any hint,

Uwe
