OpenSolaris

NVIDIA OpenGL performance is slow on S10U3.  One example is running
/usr/X11/demo/glxgears which will only produce 500 frames/sec on
hardware that is capable of a order of magnitude more.
The NVIDIA GLX module is not being loaded.  The Xorg error:

  (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
  (EE) NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
  (EE) NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
  (EE) NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
  (EE) NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.

Reinstalling won't help.  The problem is the patch for 6377618 only
contained the updates to the SUNWxwplr and SUNWxwman packages,
the updates to the SUNWxorg-mesa package were missing.
