We have both chips in our lab.  Before I test RC2 on them, I want to know how 
do I change the video driver to Mesa?  It's very difficult to install RC2 on 
these laptops, as Indiana does not dual-boot with other Solaris slices.  Plus 
both S10u5 and SXCE87 are working so well, I am not going to erase them even 
for testing purposes.

We do have problem with an ATI-based desktop machine, the video suspend does 
not seem to work.  RC2 works fine with NVidia chips.
