I'm also having trouble with the nvidia driver. I installed Solaris 11 11/11 in a Sun Ultra 20. Everything went fine until installing the desktop. Afterwards, I get kernel panics (and crash dumps) when using the supplied nividia driver.
Please provide the panic message and stack trace, at a minimum. The kernel core file would also be really helpful if it is not too much trouble to find a host. The contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log using the nv driver will also help identify the specific NVIDIA graphics hardware.
However, the "nv" driver doesn't cause panics. Unfortunately, the desktop won't run ok with the nv driver because it doesn't support the glx extension. I downloaded the driver from nvidia but cannot install it. The driver is "packed" with the old format of packages and the installation script gets confused.
