Sorry for the delay.
It's been a few weeks now - did I miss anything? Should I go invest in some XVR100s whilst they are still available :-) ? This is my understanding of the issues o The package of proprietary drivers for the legacy frame buffer hardware will install on Open Solaris, but they won't work because the PCI scanning software isn't compatible. o Xorg won't work with the legacy drivers. o XSun will work with the legacy drivers, but it needs to be Open Sourced or installed from old SVR4 packages. Open Sourcing it can't even begin until this project starts, and even when it is, it will be low priority and hence could take a long time. Once available, it will take considerable effort to get it to build in the Open Solaris environment. o In theory but probably not in practise, XSun could track Xorg in features but realistically it won't happen, for example, RandR. o There may be some features in XSun that might be useful in Xorg and that's the main reason for Sun/Oracle's interest. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong or if I've missed a critical issue.
