Hello!

Sorry to hear about your problems.

I just downloaded 460.39, installed it an rebooted.
It works with my GTX 1030, lightdm and login to mate desktop is ok.

With my "new" 1030 i went to NVIDIA solaris display driver archive as 
usual and searched, but i didnt find my card supported. So i tried the 
Driver search and found that only with version 387 the 1030 is oficially 
listed. I was shocked. But ok. i tried a 440 that i had already here for 
another system and it worked, lucky me.

With the 16xx series theres doesn't seem to be any official solaris 
driver available, maybe there is a technical reason for that.

Maybe you should switch to a "quadro", these are listed as officially 
supported with the recent solaris drivers.

Good luck!

Greetings,

Stephan
