Just a FYI - nVidia doesn't "support" consumer level cards with the Solaris drivers, so I took it upon myself to #1 - contact them and #2 - test. Happy to report 8756 supports everything I threw at it, including the 7900 and 7600 series. nVidia also says "it should work but we do not support it." I had no troubles beyond the "display sticking" issues I always seem to have (short pauses where all mouse input does not move the cursor and nothing on the screen refreshes.) I managed to fix it as root by disabling DHCP on my network card (e1000g), but logging in as a normal user it returned. No idea what causes it. ;) Regardless - the nVidia drivers worked wonderfully, even detecting and selecting the correct resolution for my strange 21" 16:10 lcd.
