The current legacy driver (96.43.05) supports G2x GPUs and below. The 173.14.05 driver which was released last week will be the next legacy driver branch for G3x GPUs when the 177.xx driver is released (current sliding schedule is late August).
Do we believe it is worth the work to make IPS versions of the legacy driver branches for 1x/2x and 3x GPUs, given the relatively small attach rate of Solaris to Sun branded systems which used these GPUs? _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
