OpenGL is included in Solaris 10 FCS and later on SPARC as part of the default
OS install. On a Sun Ray it will be software-only, and somewhere between
tolerably slow and painfully slow, so you won't want to run compiz there.
ogl-select is not needed on SPARC since there's only one OpenGL implementation
to choose from - Sun's - there are no other vendors making OpenGL for SPARC.
