Why not continuing to bundle community efforts into (Indiana(, which has been
derived from BeleniX(, which had been derived from SchilliX))) && (which will
be derived from MartUX-SPARC's framework) ?
I'm currently in the process of porting it to SPARC for over 10 days now,
that's the reason why I don't have the time to write any messages.
Plus my attempt to port the radeon DRM (kernel level) driver to Solaris_x86
DDI/DKI (based on Sun's i915 port) makes also a bit progress: It already
modloads now, even attaches and properly creates the device nodes, see here
(but it is still *broken* pre-alpha stuff, therefore no code drop yet) :
