There are three specific sets of drivers I would *love* to see
integrated to Solaris proper:
- nVidia's graphics driver
We're working on it. Unfortunately, nVidia's driver installs
a kernel module that manages the hardware, and thus conflicts
with Xsun's nvidia drivers if you tried to use it at the same
time to manage the hardware directly via /dev/xsvc. At runtime,
this isn't a problem - you simply always use Xorg when the nVidia
driver is installed. But the system installer still uses Xsun,
so engineers from the X group, x86 driver group and install teams
are working to migrate the Solaris x86 installer to Xorg (including
modifying the graphics configuration setup in the install to work
with Xorg instead of Xsun) so that we can then integrate the nVidia
driver directly into the Solaris install.
