NVIDIA Solaris Drivers, huh?
Does NVIDIA even officially/publicly support the Solaris Operating System? There is unofficial evidence to suggest NVIDIA Corporation may be in the process of supporting this Operating System on the x86 architecure by peeking into the NVIDIA Settings source code. Is there an official press release or anything else about this?

Re: NVIDIA Solaris Drivers, huh?
The following press release appeared on October 12, 2004. NVIDIA is obviously close to releasing drivers for this platform, hence the forum.

Re: NVIDIA Solaris Drivers, huh?
Good to hear.
I was thinking about trying Solaris test on my new Dual Opteron machine. Oh boy!

Re: NVIDIA Solaris Drivers, huh?
What about FreeBSD and Mac OS X?
