Managed to resolve this myself. 1) Went to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=45 2) Downloaded the latest nvidia BETA driver for Solaris / x86 3) Did a pkg uninstall for babel_install, slim_install & NVDAdrivers 4) Installed the BETA driver & rebooted as per instructions provided
Now it's showing the new driver correctly in NVIDIA X Server Setting and I can now use compiz. Cheers, Rob.
