A problem with NVIDIA driver on Sun Ultra 20 M2 (Solaris 10 11/06)


Hi.

The workstation is working perfectly but direct rendering is not enabled. Reading Xorg logs, I discover that the video driver is complaining about libGL. I reinstalled video driver with and without the driver CD shipped with the workstation. At the end I found the solution which was manually updating the following soft links:

Code:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          24 Jul 18 23:01 /usr/X11/lib/amd64/libGL.so -> ../NVIDIA/amd64/libGL.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          26 Jul 18 23:01 /usr/X11/lib/amd64/libGL.so.1 -> ../NVIDIA/amd64/libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          15 Jul 18 23:00 /usr/X11/lib/libGL.so -> NVIDIA/libGL.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          17 Jul 18 23:00 /usr/X11/lib/libGL.so.1 -> NVIDIA/libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          10 Feb 27 15:11 /usr/X11/lib/mesa/amd64/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1*

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin       501988 Jan 18  2006 /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/mesa/libglx.so*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          11 Feb 27 16:31 /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/NVIDIA/libglx.so -> libglx.so.1
-rw-r--r--   1 root     bin       726248 Nov 10  2006 /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/NVIDIA/libglx.so.1
I know that I should complain with Sun but... has anyone had such an experience? The workstation seems to be working perfectly but... am I missing something?

Thanks,
Enrico-
