This will, however, not hinder me from releasing my _few_ added bits to the public, which make XFree86's / Xorg's aperture driver work on amd64 64 bit (Open)Solaris kernels, where the un-open /dev/xsvc driver can not be distributed legally, and where the lack of a working amd64-aperture module has been kind of a show-stopper for over a year. So I'm indeed publishing those changes, before I actually have out marTux for x86/x64 (which I publically announce hereby) and because of that give Belenix, Nextenda and Schillix the chance to be out with a release featuring X11 in amd64 mode, before myself's marTux is. So go, hurry! :-) You may notice, that interestingly both XFree86 and Xorg still have 100% exactly the same apSolaris.shar inside their current CVS, last modified in 2002 (though the webcvs entries and even revisions look different at first): http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/apSolaris.shar http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/xorg/hw/xfree86/os-support/solaris/apSolaris.shar?view=log --- -rw-r--r-- 1 bochnig bochnig16546 Jun 26 00:30 XF86_apSolaris.shar -rw-r--r-- 1 bochnig bochnig16546 Jun 26 00:29 Xorg_apSolaris.shar bash-3.1$ diff -cu XF86_apSolaris.shar Xorg_apSolaris.shar No differences encountered Both projects can (or could?) therefore use the same attached diff, if they decide to incorporate something.

You cannot determine with uname (on Solaris), whether or not we are running on a plain x86, or on amd64. Especially can't we determine, wich kernel we're running. uname -m would always and only give i86pc on amd64. #1.) sun4u is by no means the only implementation of sparcv9 anymore: Take into account SUNW's throughput computing (sun4v) or - not to forget - the vendor FJSV, that may become much more wide- spread in the future, when SUNW/FJSV's APL will be out. The ISA is important to us, rather then the machine platform. To summarize this: Integrated support for generic sparcv9 - and therefore also sun4v aka Niagara servers, later APL, Rock, Rock2 etc. in the mid term future. All that by means of a rather cosmetical change. This has now been committed to our repository, modulo a small number of cosmetic changes. Thanks for the patch!
