The JDS team is working to provide the CBE and the Sun patches needed to
build the desktop, so is it similarly straightforward for someone to
build the Xserver for Solaris? Does the Xserver team apply patches,
use nondefault build options, or otherwise modify the Xserver code we
build that we should share with OpenSolaris users?
Schillix can run today with Xorg 6.8.2. It's not identical to what we
ship in Solaris, but it's close enough for a first pass at the Xorg
server. (It's much farther from our libraries and applications, and
the differences in Xsun run into the hundreds of thousands of lines,
not counting the wholly encumbered DPS system.)
We are doing similar work to the JDS team (and have actually been
working on it longer, since we didn't have the distraction of finishing
up the JDS3/Linux release first), and I've actually shared our
configuration options with Joerg. We have a bunch of source changes
too - many of which are already in the Xorg CVS for 6.9, so at least
initially, our source deltas should drop dramatically in the very near
future.
The biggest obstacle to getting our Xorg changes up on opensolaris.org
is figuring out how to post them to opensolaris.org. I've been waiting
for the opensolaris.org team to get higher priority things off their
todo list before pestering them to figure out how to do this.
