For WIW, I have a "GeForce 6150 LE" which leads to the same
behavior on Hipster. I get tolerable results from the driver
NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-304.125.run available for Solaris on Nvidia
website. However I sometimes get bad colors, In particular
with Firefox.

The more recent NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-304.131.run crashes with
Hipster 2016.
