Description
Solaris currently includes xf86-video-nv version 2.0.2 - this should be upgraded 
to 2.1.2 to bring in these fixes and new hardware support:

From 2.1.0:
This stable release of the nv driver includes support for RandR 1.2 on
GeForce 8 series GPUs, including support for LVDS flat panels.  It also
includes a simple dual-head mode for pre-G80 GPUs, as well as miscellaneous
bug fixes.
      G80: Rearrange HW video timing computations.
      G80: LVDS support.
      G80: Mode validation.
      Fix some random colormap corruption on DFPs with certain pre-G80 GPUs.
      Fix build. Including xf86DDC.h before we include xf86.h doesn't fly

From 2.1.1:
      Support configs with BAR1 < total RAM < 256 MB.
      GeForce 8400M G.

From 2.1.2:

This release fixes the LVDS display on certain MacBooks and laptops with
certain native flat panel modes (typically 1440x900).  It also adds a
"dither" RandR 1.2 output property and a corresponding "FPDither" xorg.conf
option for 6-bit flat panels.

      Put the GPU into don't corrupt the framebuffer mode to work around MacBook wackiness.
      Work around more MacBook wackiness.
      GeForce 8600M GT.
      G80: Add a dithering property and corresponding config file option.
      More GeForce 8 series mobile chips.
