I believe Illumos do know about it, see
https://www.illumos.org/issues/367
and Albert Lee pointed out to me the defect.solaris bug report (#15751)
last October when I hit the problem.

OI will be using the illumos kernel soon, so we don't necessary rely on
Oracle fixing the kernel bug.
If illumos know about it, we can look at fixing it.
OI + illumos != Solaris 11 :D

According to the defect.solaris report it's a bug in the solaris 11
kernel so it's up to Oracle/Nvidia - don't hold your breath

Any known issues, please add it into the HCL and also bug it.
Somebody might be able to look at it at some point, and get it fixed,
which
is good for everyone.
Thanks,

Yes - it's too bad; actually the GEForce 220 worked fine when I tried
Solaris 10 but I just couldn't get the internet to work with the rge0
driver (which is OK with OSOL, OI) in my machine . It's pretty obvious
that hardware for consumer PCs is very strongly directed at Windows (why
wouldn't they ?); if it works for anything else that's a bonus. The
alternative seems to be the way that was once the only way - hardware
and OS from the same manufacturer, and priced accordingly (look at Apple
Mac)

Ken,
Have you seen this bug report ?
https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=15751
I haven't tried the 256.44 driver but my GEForce 220 certainly hasn't
worked on OI (or earlier Opensolaris)
with earlier Nvidia drivers for it - John Martin's Comments seem to
suggest that neither Oracle nor Nvidia are very interested in a
problem in a fairly cheap consumer graphics card that works fine with
popular OS (it works fine for me under WinXP - I have a dual boot
PC). I expect Ken Mays knows better than I about the current situation.
Best of luck

Hello People:
I need a new graphics card for an older system (PCIE-1.0). I don't
game,
do graphics, rendering, etc. so don't need high end - just a good
workstation unit that supports OpenGL, good color accuracy, and draws
square squares :) Occasional DVD's are probably about the most GPU
intensive use the system sees. Noisy fans and failed fan bearings
are a
drag, so passive cooling is a plus, but not always a must as long
as the
card doesn't make the box sound like a hovercraft.
So I thought I'd consult that newly created HCL wiki and was
pleased to
note the Quadro 600 is "officially supported". The Quadro 600's price
point is attractive but otherwise I don't know much about it, as it's
relatively new unit. So I've a question for Mr. Mays; is the 600 your
daily driver, and if so, how do you like it?.
Also, the nVidia 256.44 driver's support many, many cards, yet only 4
models are listed. I'm curios why this might be? Shouldn't pretty
much
any of the cards supported by those drivers work? Or is this list
just
a sample of stuff that's actually been tested by the OI community?
I'm not very familiar with nVidia's line and welcome suggestions.
Thanks bunches.
Hello,
I just order an nvidia Geforce GT 220 to use with OI, the
onboard video is to weak for me, and it's listed on nvidia 's 256,44
driver supported
list. I will let you know if it works soon:-)

Thanks Guy,
I guess, i will have to swap cards between my home systems.
it appears it will be tougher to buy hardware for solaris then
linux; not so long ago, i build an amd dual core and opensolaris
2009, osol_snv134, solaris 10, will not install because of a cpu bug.
However Oracle linux, and other linux distros run great on it.
now it appears a bug in the solaris kernel is causing problems with
these video cards.(geforce GT 220)
i would be bet Oracle does not give a hoot how solaris runs on my
computer as long it runs great on SUN units.
