I went back and verified the install of the new Nvidia drivers:
15660866 Apr 13 16:03 NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-1.0-9755.run
# sh ./NV*
Removal of <NVDAgraphics> was successful.

Then I did a "reboot -- -r" and when it booted it still fails to start X, so
here is the /var/dt/Xerrors file:

It is still saying No Devices detected. I've attached the xorg.conf file. Is
there a way to verify that the nvidia driver is being found, and that it's
working? What can I do to fix this? Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks.
