hello everyone, i ran into a curious issue with a geforce 6600. since it's not supported by the shipped nvidia drivers, i installed version 304.137 as described there: http://docs.openindiana.org/dev/graphics-stack/#nvidia the procedure worked fine but the driver didn't although the 6600 is listed explicitly. svc:/application/graphical-login/lightdm:default switched to maintenance and the log showed the following errors:
** (lightdm:744): WARNING **: 08:30:19.854: Failed to get list of logind seats: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.login1 was not provided by any .service files ** (lightdm:744): WARNING **: 08:30:19.871: Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files lightdm: Got tty: '/dev/vt/7' ** (process:758): WARNING **: 08:30:22.571: Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files ** (lightdm:744): WARNING **: 08:30:22.698: Error activating ConsoleKit session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.UnmappedError.CkSeatError.Code0: Activation is not supported for this kind of seat now to the curious part: i also tried a different way. first i installed the older 173.14.39 and after a reboot i installed version 304.137. both not using the method described in the docs but directly i.e. i just ran the files. no extra bootenv or anything else. this time it worked at least partially: the nvidia control center worked and i had more resolutions to choose from compared to vgatext. however, i could still not change the refresh rate which made this endeavor quite pointless. that's a pity because with solaris 10 and whatever nvidia driver it has, the card worked just fine. if there're any secrets to getting the nvidia drivers work properly, i would be very interested in learning about them. thanks in advance for any help -- R-A-C Götz T.
