[OpenIndiana-discuss] Nvidia graphics driver on Hipster 2020.04

[bscuk2]

I have managed to install NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-396.24 it is not for the 
faint hearted but the result on the EVGA GTX1060 is promising. The 
output seems fast, giving a 120 Hz refresh on a wide Samsung 43 inch 
screen. problems so far is an intermittent boot error on xserver.
