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 0 nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 1 nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 5 nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 4 nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 3 nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 2 nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge nVidia Corporation MCP51 Host Bridge nVidia Corporation MCP51 LPC Bridge nVidia Corporation MCP51 SMBus nVidia Corporation MCP51 Memory Controller 0 nVidia Corporation MCP51 USB Controller nVidia Corporation MCP51 USB Controller nVidia Corporation MCP51 IDE nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI Bridge nVidia Corporation MCP51 AC97 Audio Controller nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller Add "-v" to scanpci didn't help. > > > BTW, where to download the latest driver for nvidia cards, on their > > website or somewhere in OpenSolaris community.

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? > pkginfo -l NVDAgraphics should show what version you have installed for > comparison against the nvidia site. > I just pkgrm the NVDAgraphics and NVDAgraphicsr and it looks OK now. Will try latest driver when it's available. Thanks. - Calvin
