That's not a problem because the SPARC systems that matter dont have _any_ graphics card, because they're server machines. They may have a graphics accelerator. How many Ray clients (better: user sessions) can you serve with even a 10 year old SPARC server? 100? 1,000? 10,000? (big machine,1/2 TB RAM)? More or less it depends on RAM. How many SPARC servers are in use, and hence are potential targets to provide KDE to users? 100,000? 1,000,000? What are those freaks doing who make start-ups providing virtual PC anywhere, as long you have internet? 1,000*1 Mio = 1 Billion potential users. How many SPARC workstations are in use? 25,000?
