I would disagree if you're using Xorg on x86 - we're using the same Xorg
sources as Linux and shipping the same extensions they do.

Compiz is not an X server extension any more than Metacity or Nautilus
is - it's a compositing manager client. The extension it uses, Composite,
has been included in the X server since we integrated Xorg 6.8 shortly
before the initial release of Solaris 10.
