Hi
Just tried the NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-460.27.04.run and this worked without
problem on my Dual Opteron 2435.
The NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-455.38.run and NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-455.45.01.run
drivers include security fixes for Intel CPUs which cause problems on
AMD Opterons.
When I perform a scanpci the following output is generated on the
Geforce 1650
pci bus 0x0004 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x10de device 0x1f82
NVIDIA Corporation TU117 [GeForce GTX 1650]
pci bus 0x0004 cardnum 0x00 function 0x01: vendor 0x10de device 0x10fa
NVIDIA Corporation Device unknown
The pci bus 0x0004 cardnum 0x00 function 0x01: vendor 0x10de device
0x10fa is actually an Nvidia Audio device does this need to be included
in /etc/driver_aliases?
Regards

Hi
Since replacing my Geforce 750TI with a Geforce 1650 OC card, I have
found a some information.
1. The Nvidia Solaris x86 Driver download
NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-455.28.run is the best driver to use with the
Geforce 1650 OC.
2. Any driver after NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-455.28.run like
NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-455.38.run and NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-455.45.01.run
cause a CPU panic along with a core dump during installation.
I have found that it pays to create a clone of the current active
boot environment and testing the driver in the clone, this allows easy
recovery by selecting the original boot environment and deleting the
clone.
Has anyone tried these drivers? I believe Nvidia have included
security fixes for Intel CPUs which maybe the cause of the problem (I
have Dual Opteron 2435)
3. Since upgrading to OpenIndiana Hipster 2020.10 Version
illumos-8b1df8bf71, the problem I have with my computer rebooting
after failing to start Lightdm has improved generally compared to
earlier releases.
Dec 19 - 2 reboots
Dec 20 - 3 reboots
Dec 21 - 2 reboots
Dec 22 - 3 reboots
Dec 23 - 3 reboots
Dec 24 - 32 reboots (almost 2 hours of reboots)
Dec 25 - 1 reboot
Dec 26 - 1 reboot
Dec 27 - 6 reboots
Dec 28 - 2 reboots
Dec 29 - 7 reboots
Unfortunately Dec 24 was the exception not sure why
