Hi Garrett, Volker, all, ok, that sounds good. I am glad and thankful about good help. For example I am aware, how difficult it can be to get the JDS gate built. Not to mention KDE. Help with such things would be more than welcome. But, I can only repeat: It is a heaven's gift, that Alan Coopersmith has opensourced Xsun. While the device specific /dev/fb console drivers and corresponding ddx_modules_for_Xsun are not opensrc (except for cg6), but redistributable since 2007. And for the rest Xorg's libs can be used. So little was missing. Nothing better could happen to us. EVERYTHING IS FINE. I can only apologize, that I made such a long break since 2009/2010. But now we are here, and SPARC is still kicking :) regards, %martin ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
