Did Oracle consider using a mediator to set the system's nVidia
version
branch?

Considered and rejected as nvidia's design doesn't allow multiple
versions to be
installed on the system at the same time to mediate between.

I had a PR for OI that I think silently withered that used an
approach similar to opengl-selector to make a web of symlinks to
libs and kernel modules based on choice as configured by the user
(or possibly PCI IDs?), to pick one of nvidia-XXX implementations
installed into predictably named different subdirectories.
So technically such magic seems possible.
Unfortunately, the laptops I had were all with intel+nvidia
"optimus" setup, so I never had a chance to test it myself and not
sure anyone did for the PR. Another reason it could have withered
was that OI was stuck delivering some (varied over time) driver
version as a "nvidia" verbatim named package.
Oh well, at least it seems from recent posts that now OI serves not
a single "nvidia" package, but indeed a few"nvidia-XXX"'es for users
to pick one to install, so my shim has a chance again :)
My 2c,
Jim

Hi Jim,
yes, I hope that we can improve the momentary situation. The creation of
the simplified variant was intended to cut the knots and create some
progress.
You are more than welcome to help us getting better with NVIDIA drivers.
Maybe you find some time to rebase your work on the actual situation.
I will try to find testers, I swear :)
Best regards,
Andreas

Hi!
The mentioned PR was propably #3673
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/3673
The part of installing the files of each driver version to to
subdirectories is simple,
i have to read a bit if i want to understand the idea of how the
linking-in of the active driver actually works...

Hello!
Reading through #3673 i think it's a bit too complicated at least,
and there is no solution for the aliases-problem yet (if i didn't miss
that)
An install skript that choses the appropriate driver at install time,
(as mentioned earlier on this list),
at first boot after installation, or at any other manual chosen time,
should do the job to give the user a good experience and a graphical
login with the nvidia driver behind the scene.
Stephan
