Hi

Since replacing my Geforce 750TI with a Geforce 1650 OC card, I have found a some information.

1. The Nvidia Solaris x86 Driver download NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-455.28.run is the best driver to use with the Geforce 1650 OC.

2. Any driver after NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-455.28.run like NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-455.38.run and NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-455.45.01.run cause a CPU panic along with a core dump during installation.     I have found that it pays to create a clone of the current active boot environment and testing the driver in the clone, this allows easy recovery by selecting the original boot environment and deleting the clone.

    Has anyone tried these drivers? I believe Nvidia have included security fixes for Intel CPUs which maybe the cause of the problem (I have Dual Opteron 2435)

3. Since upgrading to OpenIndiana Hipster 2020.10 Version illumos-8b1df8bf71, the problem I have with my computer rebooting after failing to start Lightdm has improved generally compared to earlier releases.

   Dec 19 - 2 reboots
   Dec 20 - 3 reboots
   Dec 21 - 2 reboots
   Dec 22 - 3 reboots
   Dec 23 - 3 reboots
   Dec 24 - 32 reboots (almost 2 hours of reboots)
   Dec 25 - 1 reboot
   Dec 26 - 1 reboot
   Dec 27 - 6 reboots
   Dec 28 - 2 reboots
   Dec 29 - 7 reboots

   Unfortunately Dec 24 was the exception not sure why


Regards

Russell
