Hello!
i tried installing OI on such a new laptop like the P52 and had no success,
because the 'optimus' thing could not be turned off and therefor the
nvidia driver could not initialize the gpu. (..and the absence of legacy
boot options for internal drives..).
But that was about a year ago.
Out of personal interest, please let me know if you have success using
OI on your P52.
Thanks,
Stephan

Hi,
which nvidia graphics card type you use with OpenIndiana?
Currently we ship the version 340 of nvidia Solaris driver, which
supports following cards:
https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/135163/en-us.
However, newer devices are not supported in this driver version.
I was wondering if users are fine with a newer version like 390? It
adds new cards but drops old ones. List of supported cards in this
version: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/149144/en-us.
Anyone knows might be affected? (I don't have a plan, just wondering.)
You can get the type of graphics card with `nvidia-settings` or in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log file.
The other, proper solution is to have a way to switch between driver
versions but work on this stalled some time ago.
Thanks,
Michal
