Dear list, After my IRC chat over at #opensolaris (check logs for 25/12/07). I would like to ask why the Solaris installer choices to use nv as the default driver irrelevant of the series of the card. I have the understanding that some older nvidia cards are not support by the nvidia driver but are by nv, however some newer cards the case is the other way around. Could the installer not default to the nvidia to be consistent with the after install experience that cde-login/Xorg defaults to (nvidia driver) and choice to use nv driver if the card is detected to be a older series ?
This way we don't end up with the two common questions; "Well if the installer detected my card right why is Xorg not starting after the install?" and "Why does the installer have to be done in text mode but after the system is up, Xorg detects everything fine?" What are your views? Thanks for your time, Edward O'Callaghan. -- All Documents adhered to the ISO/IEC 26300 standard file format for electronic office documents, such as spreadsheets, charts, presentations and word processing documents from this email address.
