OpenSolaris is not Linux, the Linux drivers cannot be used on OpenSolaris,
since they interface specifically to the Linux kernel.

ATI does not provide OpenSolaris drivers - OpenSolaris includes the open
source drivers for ATI graphics which provide basic display functionality,
but do not provide hardware acceleration for 3D graphics.
