Thanks. That actually makes some sense, though I do get nervous when I see 
lots of symlinks. 

I had an FMA fault and fmd is offline. fmdump -v -u <ID> did not find it, but I 
was able to determine that notify-params was disabled. However even after I 
enabled it, fmd is still offline and nothing seemed to change that. 

I'm about to do a brute force comparison of the Desktop Live Image and the 
installed image.

I've been working on this non-stop for almost 9 hours now, so my brain is 
pretty fried at this point.

The Xorg server is loading both the nvidia driver and the vesa driver. Is that 
likely to cause a crash? I don't understand what is causing it to load the vesa 
driver as it doesn't seem to find an xorg.conf file and uses a builtin.

They are created at boot when the system detects what graphics devices are
in use, via the ogl-select SMF service - make sure it is enabled & running.
