Are you sure you have an nVidia graphics card? Did you look through the
other devices reported by scanpci?
You can also look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what device the Xserver
found and what driver it chose to use it, as well as what resolutions it
detected and which it chose to run at.

No - Sun cannot patch nvidia's drivers. I wonder if you have one of the
legacy card models they dropped support for in the later revs.
