I have NVIDIA GeForce2 Integrated GPU graphics card. 

When i tried installing the solaris community release build 50 i checked the display driver selected by default, it was something else i.e. it was NVIDIA but not GeForce2. It gave a list of display drivers, amongst them i chose the NVIDIA driver for GeForce2 and it worked fine.
