[OpenIndiana-discuss] NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE GPU not supported on hipster

[ken mays]

Gary,
Use the Nvidia 304.x driver series. 

We used this driver with the current oi_151a by default. Latest: 304.132
OI_Hipster is based on Nvidia 340.x driver series (Geforce 8-series and higher). You can uninstall the default driver and use the Nvidia 304.x driver.

 I just installed hipster on an older computer from an
OI-hipster-gui-20160421.iso DVD.  It seems to be working nicely.
Even my HP laser printer is supported and working.

Something's wrong with my monitor, though.  It's called Unknown,
with a resolution of 1024x768.  When I looked at the X server log,
/var/log/Xorg.0.log, it said this:

 (WW) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE GPU installed in this system is
 (WW) NVIDIA(0):    supported through the NVIDIA 304.xx Legacy drivers. Please
 (WW) NVIDIA(0):    visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more
 (WW) NVIDIA(0):    information.  The 340.93 NVIDIA driver will ignore this
 (WW) NVIDIA(0):    GPU.  Continuing probe... 

Sure enough, the nvidia driver is version 0.340.93-2015.0.1.0 .  Is
there a package for the older driver?  Is there some other solution?
Should I file a bug report?
