The fact that the same video hardware works nicely in 3D on Linux
since aprox. 2 years makes me wonder why such a laptop that is used by
many hackers does not get attention by Solaris. I get the impression that
we still have to do a lot in order to make Solaris an accepted community
project.

I reported such problems in Spring already. At that time I got the impresssion
that nobody was interested in the problem. Thank you Jürgen, for being helpful
again!

It seems that the upgrade to the new Xorg version (aprox. a year ago) was
done in a way that should never happen. From what you write, it seems that
there have been changes that were known in advance to create problems.
I borrowed a test hard disk for the machine and I could e.g. try to go back to
build 105 - I believe that this was the last working version with respect
to video support.
