This chapter provides instructions for installing the NVIDIA driver. Note that after installation, but prior to using the driver, you must complete the steps described in Chapter 5, Configuring X for the NVIDIA Driver.
Starting the Installer
The file NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-495.44.run is a
self-extracting package that needs to be installed by the
super-user. Become root by running the 'su' command and entering
the super-user password.
Execute the package file to install the packages that comprise the NVIDIA Solaris Graphics Driver:
# sh NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-495.44.run
Reboot:
# reboot -- -r
The -r option causes a reconfiguration boot.
