This is my first post to this group. Normally I bug the folks on the 32-bit list.
I just got a Sun W110z and installed 9.1 Pro on it. I looked at my Sun CD that came with the machine and there's an Nvidia driver that was made for Linux. Should I use this? I gather I should since it's for the card that came with machine.
I am not familiar with this machine or the driver. Do you mean an nVIDIA nForce* chipset driver or an nVIDIA GeForce* graphics card driver? Does "made for Linux" mean "made for the 2.6 kernel"? Is it a 64 bit binary? Is there any difference between the driver and what you can find on the nVIDIA web site - which should be more up-to-date?

The driver was made for the card in my machine...but I don't know if it was made for the 2.6 kernel. Thanks for the thoughts!
