Another idea is to check what PCI id your graphics card has. Our package
is generated from NVIDIA's official package and thus should be able to
run your card, too.
During package creation we use a script to identify the supported PCI
id's. You can find the sources in
oi-userland/components/openindiana/nvidia-470/print-pci-ids.sh.
This script is being run after "gmake build" in the package's folder. It
only needs the folder of the package's sources as a parameter, eg.
./print-pci-ids.sh ./NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-470.74
Maybe /etc/driver_aliases is missing an entry for your card.
