I had the same with one VIA motherboard, though I actually used an NVidia graphics card. Never wasted time in searching "why", though. I just chose text mode installation and completed it. Then, when I first booted, my card was identified with no problem, window manager worked OK. Try text mode installation!

For ViaRhine NIC drivers for Solaris(and possibly Emu10k1) search the web. I just don't remember now where, but I found the drivers. OSS sound drivers are now included in Solaris Express(some of them). > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > opensolaris-discuss mailing list > [email protected] Sincerely yours, Berger Kostya
