Bug #3732
No Desktop during new installation
0%
Description
I have a DELL Inspiron 3421 and it has NVIDIA GEFORCE which is probably my problem. I'm new to OpenIndiana but used to use Unix. During install I never made it to the Desktop but got to login. I logged on as "su" and ran this command as suggested: svcs -xv. When I run this command there is no response.
Secondly, I looked at this file as suggested: /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
It's a very big file. But I do see the message:
"(!!) More than one possible primary device found..."
after that the Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge Graphics Controller is mentioned as well as the NVIDIA Corporation GK107.
I saw several similar errors on the illumos gate but was not able to repair.
Thank you in advance.

It could be problem with dual graphics. Force nVidia in BIOS if possible.

Closing ticket. NO support for dual graphic-type platforms at this time through the Nvidia/Solaris driver. As mentioned, must be done in BIOS to override detection issue (works only on some platforms). Feel free to reopen if under consideration.
