It includes the pci10de,244 alias and should allow the display to work without any manual changes.
For the above case where you are using the bundled 1.0-9639 in b69 (which moves to 1.0-9643 in b71), you should only have needed to do the last steps: # update_drv -a -i '"pci10de,244"' nvidia # init 6 When the system rebooted, it is likely the NVIDIA driver would have been bound to the GeForce 6150 and all the previous steps of configuration and playing with the symlinks shouldn't have been necessary. Note: testing the GeForce 61xx GPUs is not part of the test matrix for the "legacy" driver currently bundled into Solaris Express, so it is still preferable to load the release driver on top of the installed image.
