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
Guy

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:-)
