Lately my Eee 901 was wrong on its keyboard and it was just over 1 year old -its warranty had expired,I had to pay to fix it but it was very expensive - 16,000yen for its fee.very silly...
So I bought new 'Eee' named 'N10J' which has Nvidia G105M graphics and two years warranty.it works good on OpenSolaris but OpenSolaris doesn't recognized its driver as 'nvidia' because it hadn't supported.
Last week by chance I look the nvidia webpage at a glance for looking for its drivers for Ubuntu.
I felt like searching solaris driver for it.I finally had found it! great!
So I tried to install it to my N10J (OpenSolaris build 126) this Sunday.
First downloading the website confirming the license agreement for its driver.
See:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/solaris_display_190.42.html
then I was able to download the driver installer file: NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-190.42.run
Second,I changed permittions with chmod
$chmod 755 NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-190.42.run
and I couldn't execute the file normally because IPS was wrong on b126 it wasn't uninstall by the installer (this problem is now suggested on bugzilla).so I tried to install on it as SVR4 packages.
$./NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-190.42.run -x
so I found it made the packages in the directory named 'NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-190.42.run'
$cd NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-190.42
$ls
NVDAgraphics NVDAgraphicsr gfx_private install
so I edited 'install' files to delete the column '# Check if OpenSolaris NVDAgraphics IPS package is already installed'.
and I would use it on your N10J,so I added 'nvidia "pci10de,6f1"' to /etc/driver_aliases.
then I finally succeeded installing:))
I could see nvidia driver working with 'Nvidia X Server Settings' and 'Device Manager' on OpenSolaris;
I now trying to use it for games (secondlife) and so on.it works good but most of key shortcuts don't work:) I hope it will be fixed.
