You just need to look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change "vesa" to "nv"
- that should do it. My Xorg.conf file reads simply.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
I have a 27" monitor that needs 1920 x 1080. Vesa looks terrible for me
as it doesn't get past 1280x 1024 (if I remember rightly). It's a shame
as this card is a) cheap and b) looks pretty good when it does its stuff
under WinXP.
The other downside is that most of the Screensavers shipped with OI
don't work for me.
Best of luck

Edward,
The system dies at the point you would expect Gnome to
fire up - that's the effect of the kernel bug. But you can start OI
if you choose the VESA option, and from there you can switch to the
NV driver which comes with OI, which is what I've done. Illumos are
aware of the problem and it's being reviewed by Colin Ellis for them.
Hi,
Thanks for the info. I guess I continue using this card with OI
after all in VESA mode and later i'll try switching to NV.
