Nvidia Solaris Display Driver 343.36  is released, Nvidia for Solaris operating systems running on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures

Nvidia Solaris Display Driver is a proprietary, yet freely distributed OpenGL 3D video driver that brings support for Nvidia graphics cards on Solaris operating systems. The driver is distributed in multiple editions, as Long Lived (long term supported) and Short Lived (short term supported) branches.

What's New in This Release: 

• Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 19 (xorg-server 1.17).
• Fixed a bug that rendered very bright garbage data onto some textures in UnrealEngine 4 applications. This issue is known as the "disco bug" by the UnrealEngine 4 Linux community.
• Added option UseSysmemPixmapAccel to control the use of GPU acceleration for X drawing operations on pixmaps allocated in system memory.
• Fixed a regression that prevented the NVIDIA X driver from recognizing Base Mosaic layouts generated by the nvidia-settings control panel.
• Improved the reliability of some GPUs, such as the NVS 300, on Solaris systems.
• Fixed a bug that could cause VT-switching to fail following a suspend, resume, and driver reload sequence.
• Fixed a bug that caused incorrect colors to be displayed on X screens running at depth 8 on some GPUs.
• Fixed a bug that prevented GPUs from being correctly recognized in MetaMode strings when identified by UUID.
• Implemented support for disabling indirect GLX context creation using the -iglx option available on X.Org server release 1.16 and newer.  Note that future X.Org server releases may make the -iglx option the default. To re-enable support for indirect GLX on such servers, use the +iglx option.
• Added the "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" X config option.  This option can be used to disallow use of GLX protocol.  See "Appendix B. X Config Options" in the README for more details.
• Fixed a crash with UnrealEngine 4 when the application was started with the -opengl4 commandline switch.
• Fixed an OpenGL issue that could cause glReadPixels() operations to be improperly clipped when resizing composited application windows, potentially leading to momentary X freezes.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent the GLSL compiler from correctly evaluating some expressions when compiling shaders.

Installing Nvidia Solaris Display Driver on Solaris x86/x64

In order to install the Nvidia Solaris Display Driver on your Solaris operating system, you must download the binary package from the Downloads section above and save the run file on your Home directory. Then, enter the terminal mode and execute the “sh ./NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-xxx.xx.run” command as root (switch to the root with the “su’ command), where xxx.xx is the version number or the driver.

Be aware that you must first install the kernel headers on your Solaris operating system. During the installation, users will be asked if they want to edit the X configuration file manually or let the installer do all the work. Alternatively, after installation, you can run the nvidia-xconfig command via an X11 terminal emulator client to set the new driver as default.
