For all of you Gentoo guru's:

The Gentoo-SPARC instructions state that X is not supported on
Gentoo-SPARC.  But it also talks about using Xsun or somesuch.
Does X run on Gentoo-SPARC and it's just not supported by the Gentoo
guys?  Do you have to buy Sun's X server for Linux?  What's the deal
here.  I'm trying to test out Linux on SPARC and since everyone who
tries Gentoo raves, I though I'd try that one this time around (since
Gentoo, Slack, Deb, and Sorceror's are the only major distros to support
SPARC at this point-per DistroWatch).

Thanks!

I don't know how much of an indicator this is, but /usr/portage/profiles/default-sparc-1.4/use.defaults lists X, among KDE, GNOME, etc. XFree's driver list also lists a few Sun drivers. Unfortunately I can't test it as I don't have a SPARC. You're welcome to send me one if you have a spare ;-)
