Can you please boot into command line and execute /usr/X11/bin/scanpci It will list all PCI devices in your system including the graphics card. The lines that describe your graphics card will be of interest to me. Solaris Express snv_70b actually has an older NVIDIA driver compared to both OpenSolaris distro and BeleniX. It is this typical issue with Nvidia drivers. The newer drivers do not tend to support the older graphics cards while the older drivers obviously cannot support newer cards. So it is next to impossible to make the LiveCD work for every Nvidia card owner. However the scanpci output will help me to identify exactly which card you have and what is the issue.
