Shout for  Moinak to  help ! There  are some  licensing issues
with the  Solaris libm, so Moinak  did a great job  of hacking
the netbsd libm to play ball with Belenix ... IOW, the libm in
belenix actually stands for  lib-Moinak (rather than the usual
lib-math) ;-)

OTOH,  nvidia support  under belenix/  solaris is  pretty good
actually. What are the specifics of your system ? I too have a
nvdia chip set on my P4  with an old nVidia Corporation NV5M64
[RIVA TNT2 Model  64/Model 64 Pro] graphic card.  I have faced
no issues with Belenix in any of the releases.

One thing  which may  help in  debugging is  to point  out the
level of the error. What happens if you run 'xinit' directly ?
My gut feeling  is that perl iteself (in belenix)  may need to
be recompiled with lib-moinak !
