That would be nvidia, who has the advantage of having the full specs,
access to the hardware designers, and motivation to make the drivers
work well so they can sell more hardware. It probably also helps a
lot that due to their unified architecture, major portions of the
drivers are the same code that they use on other OS'es, and not much
is Solaris/OpenSolaris specific.
