Treating the two sentences as possibly unrelated.
If your system and NVIDIA graphics card supports MSI, you can enable
MSI for the nvidia driver by commenting out the last line in
/kernel/drv/nvidia.conf:
...
#Comment out the following line or set the value to 1 if you want to
enable
#the use of MSI interrupts
AllowMSI=0;
Follow this with "pfexec reboot -p".
Also, if you download a driver from the NVIDIA download page (185.18.36
on this system),
you will not get MSI support. NVIDIA is still evaluating the changes
for MSI.
NVIDIA's driver will not mention MSI in /kernel/drv/nvidia.conf.
The Sun enhanced driver with MSI support was delivered to b124. In the
meantime,
you can grab the web installer with SYSV packages at:
http://home.comcast.net/~jdmartin99/NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-185.18.36-xVM.run
After installing, repeat the step commenting out the line in
/kernel/drv/nvidia.conf.
From the log file, I don't see any reported failures from the NVIDIA
driver, but I am
nervous about changing the default behavior of PowerMizer in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Option "RegistryDwords"
"PowermizerEnable=0x1;PerfLevelSrc=0x3333;PowerMizerLevelAC=0x2"
I don't regression test any of these settings.
