Have you checked the hardware compatibility list to see if this adapter is 
listed? When I last looked it didn't appear that there was support for the ATI 
Sapphire 2400HD in OpenSolaris (or Linux). What you may have to do is go back to 
using the onboard GMA950 until there's a driver available for your ATI card.

The hardware compatibility list can be found at:
