[OpenIndiana-discuss] need to downgrade nvidia driver

[Flemming Dalsgaard]

Hi.

A fresh install of OI did kill the graphics on my pc.
It seems to be caused by the nvidia driver as of the Xorg.log
stating my card requires the 304.137 driver instead of the current 340.106
version.

Following the suggested metode on
https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Nvidia+Graphics

the "pfexec pkg -R /mnt uninstall -r driver/graphics/nvidia" failed due to
packages depend on the current 340.106 version.
specifically :
***@0.1-2018.0.0.31
x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-***@0.5.11-2018.0.0.1

Could the dependencies be removed or relaxed on thoes packages so its would
be possible to install the nvidia driver that works with my graphics ?

Thanks
Flemming

Thanks for the infomation!

But since I have to remove the current nvidia driver as pr. instructions on
https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Nvidia+Graphics
the change in facet will not be sufficient.

Tried to uninstall ***@0.1-2018.0.0.31 +
x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-***@0.5.11-2018.0.0.1
that would let me uninstall the nvidia driver
but reinstall of mate_install and/or xorg-video pull in the the 340.106
version of nvidia also overwriting my just installed 304.137 version since
they both require the nvidia package :/

The "solution" for now has been to overwrite the installed 340.106 version
with the 304.137 pkgadd
not very beautiful and properly will cause issues later..

Thanks
Flemming
