Joerg, I have X.org 6.8.2 libraries, binaries, and header packages built for Solaris 8/9/10 (x86/SPARC) over at Blastwave. Could these work for you?!?
I have Schillix 0.2 so do I need to know something to port X.org over to Schillix that you know of or is everything just a ./configure & smake ?!? ;oP I can get this done tonite or tomorrow if I know the details. Maybe get GNOME 2.12.1 on it as well (maybe during Halloween timeframe). ~Ken Mays --- Joerg Schilling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jake Maciejewski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I don't understand why X is a priority.
