Solaris has drivers for all public nvidia cards - though for the
very newest you may need to download the newest ones from nvidia.com.
The ATI driver issue is universal - Solaris, Linux & BSD all use the
same open source drivers from Xorg, and none of us can run on the ATI
X1x00 series. ATI finally provided support in their Linux closed
source drivers (which many Linuxes refuse to bundle) 6 months after the
cards had been on the market - you can find lots of griping about that
in Linux forums and blogs.
