I have a graphics card problem on my Inspiron 1520

807559Dec 31 2008 — edited Jan 1 2009
Computer Specs:
Inspiron 1520 Laptop: Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 (1.5GHz/667Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS

I went to NVIDIA's website and downloaded and installed the driver for my graphics card here - http://www.nvidia.com/object/solaris_display_177.82.html

I ran nvidia-xconfig and it created a new xorg config file. However, when I reboot my labtop it says X-Server can not be started on display :0 with following error report -

SUNWxorg-graphics-ddx package version: 6.8.0.5.10.7400,REV=0.2004.12.15
SUNWxorg-graphics-ddx patches applied: 125720-10

SUNWxorg-mesa patches applied: 125720-10 125724-01

BTW I've tried to remove xtsol and freetype but the other error is still there.

And here's the xorg.conf file. I'm a total Solaris noob so help is GREATLY appreciated.
