Update: Solaris on Dell Latitude D830
I have upgraded my Solaris install on my Dell Latitude D830 to the build 66 release of Solaris Express Community edition. I then BFU'd with the latest bits on 6/18/07. So what's changed? I now have a bit more support for my chipset, the 965GM, thanks to a putback for CR 6492209 "Intel 965 chipsets should have AGP support". And, apparently, the VESA driver is now recognizing the GMA x3100 integrated graphics core correctly. But I still don't have a good xorg.conf file to get full resolution out of my display. (I haven't located the necessary specs for the LCD, and Dell was no help.) Anyways, here's a quick run-through of what is working: Wireless (Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG, working with a 'B' access point, at least), Graphics (GMA x3100), USB, Touchpad. Here are somethings I'm still working on: Sound (Should be able to get this going with OSS). My apologies if this post is thin. I well definitely elaborate upon the hardware and steps needed to get it functioning when I'm spending less time configuring this laptop and more time using it. I will also learn how to format these posts so that they are easier to skim ;)

Hi! I just received mine and tried S10 11/06 but it fails on reboot (!@^#%^&!)... Any updates on what you have working? I got my d830 with a mVidia Quadro NVS 140! How about the next update of S10 (should be 8/07 or 9/07), will it have a chance to work? Thank's for any updates.
