Hi Francois,
I don't have the answers to your questions unfortunately. I will chase this
up with Fluendo and see if I can get some answers for you.

VDPAU provides the necessary hooks for doing accelerated scaling.

I've complained about the same issues before. I understand the need to move
onto Xorg and drop Xsun. At the same time, I understand that Sun really isn't

Is this perhaps because they are 2D and too expensive for what they offer?

Xorg has no problem loading new drivers at runtime, without
recompiling. When using PCI vendor id to autoselect a driver,
you'll need an xorg.conf to tell Xorg which driver to load when
it's not in the builtin list. For SPARC, where /dev/fb mapping
is mainly used for selecting a fb driver,

Hi Jensen,
A few things:
1. There was some work I did a few years ago in that we didn't need
SPARC-specific video cards - you could use commercially available video cards
that were compatible to Xorg and SPARC motherboards.
2. I submitted a bunch of RFEs to update Sun OpenGL to OpenGL 1.5-2.1
You can run Solaris apps in compat mode under OpenBSD ;-)
