[OpenIndiana-discuss] Selecting wrong video driver

[Rainer Heilke]

Hi.
xrandr called it an Intel graphics card. The intel_drv.so driver worked 
solidly under FreeBSD. I think X keeps thinking it's an NVidia card 
because it's an AMD CPU. But Gigabyte seems to have used an intel chip 
on the motherboard. The NVideo driver hasn't worked under any flavour of 
Unix/Linux I've tried.
