At this point, we have no plans to integrate Xorg 1.5/X11R7.4 into Solaris 10
or OpenSolaris 2008.11. As I wrote last week, we are planning on putting it
into Nevada after the build 101 that 2008.11 will be based on - it will then
be available as an upgrade via IPS, but not until after the 2008.11 release.
(For Solaris 10, we simply have no plans to backport at all - that may change
if a good reason comes forward, but if so, we'd have to deal with dependency
issues like D-BUS on Solaris 10.)

I don't understand what you mean by this, but we're working to remove Xsun,
and just use Xorg, not rewrite it.

You will have to be more specific about what information you want that hasn't
already been provided.
