Hi Ken,
Alas I do not but I have sent an email to see if I can borrow a card.

Russell,
Any access to a GeForce GTX 260/280 Graphics Card to test your setup?

Hi Russell,
Tracking: defect.opensolaris.org -> 15751
The bug exists in the gfx 'private' VM code at the
kernel level - so the current Nvidia driver update (i.e.
260.19.29) won't resolve this issue for specific Nvidia
graphic card screen blanking or erractic bus error issues
using ONNV_134 through ONNV_155 (i.e. not fixed yet in
kernel builds from Oracle nor recent Illumos team's
modifications).
This is also mentioned in the Nvidia forums on
11-21-2010:

zander (Nvidia) - "we recently debugged a
problem consistent with what you describe. This problem is
the result of a regression in Solaris Express, introduced
earlier this year. Oracle is currently looking into how to
best solve this problem... The severity of the symptoms
caused by the regression I referred to above range from
start-up failures to intermittent stress test failures, and
vary depending on the system configuration."
Very specific to certain Nvidia GFX chipsets. You can
workaround the issue
by either using a Nvidia GFX chipset/card known to
work from Nvidia on OSOL_134 through Sol 11 Express or
testing your system configuration with the OSOL 2009.06
distribution and Nvidia driver 260.19.29 - especially if
you're a notebook/laptop user.
