No, unfortunately not. You would have to resort to kvm to install an instance of Solaris in a kernel-based virtual machine. > * Does Debian/sparc64 have support for X11/Xorg, and if so, which > video cards are supported, the application aforementioned has a > graphical requirement (which could be remotely displayed if necessary, > but we would prefer not to). Yes, Debian on sparc64 has full support for Xorg. Basically all display hardware supported by the current release of Xorg should work. There might be some issues with Sun-specific display adapters as someone else previously reported on this list, but in such cases, you could just install a known-working standard PC graphics card as a work-around (PCI, AGP or PCI Express).
