John,
Thanks a lot for your help!
The right man in the right place at the REALLY FAST RIGHT MOMENT!
Followed your suggestion and nvidia driver is up and running now.
I'll try to beter 'really' understand what I did following your
instructions later :-)
Thanks a lot!

glx should be provided by the nvidia driver, if it supports your

what did you put in your xorg.conf? How did you make it?
Unfortunately, the X driver (in this case VESA) does not get to choose
which
GLX module is loaded. On Solaris for the x64 platform this is
controlled by
the ogl-select SMF service. In this case it is choosing the MESA GLX
module
which indicates either the NVIDIA kernel driver is not bound to the
ION/MCP79
or there is another graphics device in the system.
The 185.18.36 driver delivered to b125 supports MCP79. This system has
the
standard device id assigned by NVIDIA:
(--) PCI:*(0:3:0:0) 10de:087d
The device alias for 87d is supplied by the IPS package in b125, but
the
root node must be identified as PCI Express:
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.11 snv_125 November 2008
$ grep 87d /etc/driver_aliases
nvidia "pciex10de,87d"
$
At the time (b124), I delivered the PCI Express version of the device
alias
because there was a potential conflict flagged which later turned out
to be
false. The alias delivered in the pending 190.42 driver is just
pci10de,87d.
Try one of the following:
1. Send me the output of /usr/bin/nvidia-SunOS-bug-report.sh.
2. Run these commands:
$ pfexec mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.sav
$ pfexec update_drv -a -i '"pci10de,87d"' nvidia
$ pfexec reboot -p
