10:44:52 <tpbsd> Hi all, old man Unix user here, currently on Freebsd but thinking of making up a Omnios workstation with a Ryzen 3600, I've tested it already and it worked fine, but looking for tips for  video card hardware from experienced workstation users. use is just the usual xorg stuff some simple gaming and pcb design, no serious 3d 
10:45:20 <tpbsd> all suggestions welcome, thanks in advance
10:52:58 <|cos|> tpbsd: Last time I tried setting up OmniOS with xorg I found no relevant packages, gave up and went with OpenIndiana instead. Guess that means I'm impressed of your setup and have zero suggestions.
10:54:04 <tpbsd> |cos|, I havent had xorg running yet, just the command line Sunos
10:54:45 <tpbsd> |cos|, Im assuming that I'll be able to bootstrap Pkgsrc and install xorg from there 
10:55:56 <tpbsd> |cos|, do you have xorg running on Opendiana, if so what card is it ?
10:56:56 <Woodstock> i'd suggest nvidia
10:58:22 <tpbsd> Woodstock, using what driver, the old noveau ? or something solaris by nvidia itself ?
10:58:48 <tpbsd> I have a GTX660 thats still working ok
11:12:54 <|cos|> tpbsd: unfortunately i've only ever toyed around on temporary virtual machines with graphical illumos. :(
11:13:29 <tpbsd> |cos|, aha, no worries then
11:24:06 <Woodstock> tpbsd: i'm using the binary drivers from nvidia as shipped by OI. there are three versions to chose from, but I don't know whether th GTX660 is supported. ideally you'll just try it out.
11:24:42 <tpbsd> Woodstock, thanks muchly, thats what I'll do
