Hmm, (manually) installing the 177.82 from the sxce iso does install the nvidia
version of libwfb
(symlinked to the NVIDIA directory). It might be that I first installed the
180.22 which I was running
on sxce 106. So removing that may have opened the way for this issue.

that returns nothing.
pkgchk -l SUNWxorg-server says
Pathname: /usr/X11/lib/modules/amd64/libwfb.so
Type: symbolic link
Source of link: ../NVIDIA/amd64/libnvidia-wfb.so
Referenced by the following packages:
SUNWxorg-serverNVDAgraphics
Current status: installed
with 180.27 installed.

so basically the lib provided by the downloadable version of the driver is
broken on sxce after build 106?

right now I need to fiddle the libs out of the xorg-server pkg and see if that
fixes my problem.
