Hello Lars, Thanks a lot for your in-depth response, it helped and yesterday I already excited the Solaris GUI :-) I downloaded the driver you suggested, copied it to a Flash card and was gladly surprised when the card was recognized automaticlly by Solaris :-) I was unable to login at that quick moment when the Login prompt is shown - either my CPU is too fast or I'm too slow ;-), don't know. However, the trick with editing the GRUB record suggested in the thread http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=159251𦸓 by Ether (thanks to him, BTW) allowed me to login in single user mode and disable the GUI with svcadm. Previously I just pressed Ctrl + D too early - when it asked for password for su. By the way, to answer your question: Ctrl + Alt + Backspace + Backspace didn't allow me to get the console. So, now I'm joined the Solaris community :-). No sound and network yet, but I hope to set up them soon :-) Thank you one more time.
For those who faced the same problem, here are the exact steps that worked for me: 1. Download the NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-100.14.19.run driver from http://www.nvidia.com/object/solaris_display_100.14.19.html. 2. Copy it to a Flash card or burn it on a CD. 3. Boot the system and press e to edit the Solaris entry in the GRUB menu: add -s to the kernel line - this will boot the system into single user mode this time (the modification is not saved after rebooting). 4. Disable graphical login by executing this command: svcadm disable cde-login 5. Press Ctrl + D to switch to multi-user mode and log in as root. 6. Navigate to the location of the NVIDIA driver you downloaded and execute this command to install it: sh NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-100.14.19.run 7. Execute reboot -- -r to cause a configuration reboot. You will see a new entry in the GRUB menu, it ends with the "transient" word. Select it and boot.
