Hi, Alan,

I got no clue from the output below.
-bash-3.00# /usr/X11/bin/scanpci|grep nVidia
 nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge

 nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 1

Add "-v" to scanpci didn't help.

That's version 1.0-9755. Well, I just tried but it only support
640x480 at 50Hz on my box. The driver comes with SXDE 55b is version
1.0-9629 but it supports 1024x768 at 70Hz, which should be 85Hz in my case.
Do you know if Sun has some patch on the version 1.0-9629?

I just pkgrm the NVDAgraphics and NVDAgraphicsr and it looks OK now.
Will try latest driver when it's available.

Thanks.
