Not sure if you've received the reply to your message from rugrat on xwin-discuss so here is a link to that thread: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=90463&tstart=0 If the problem is a lack of a vendor-specific device ID then you can find this out yourself by running scanpci. You are looking for your vendor ID and device ID pair, e.g.: vendor 0x15ad device 0x0405 Youcan then search for this in the /etc/driver_aliases file on OpenSolaris 2008.11 using, e.g.: grep \"pci15ad,405\" /etc/driver_aliases If this fails to find your device ID, then you can add it yourself using add_drv, reloading the nvidia driver then starting GDM, but the device should have specified one of the "official" nVidia device IDs in its list of compatible devices. The output of prtconf -v will show you if it has any, although you may want to view that in a test editor as it is quite large and difficult to read.
