An Xsun server should be faster, more stable and more integrated into Solaris just by the virtue that it is a Sun's own Xserver. I would think that XSun has accelerated drivers for the GFX accelerators that it supports. However, Xsun has limited driver support, whereas Xorg has more drivers. My understanding is that most of the Xorg drivers are "2D" drivers only, i.e. no acceleration on 3D accelerator-capable HW. Then again, Nvidia drivers support Xorg only. So if you have a newer NVidia (5200+) 3D accelerator, NVidia's Xorg 3D accelerated drivers would be the way to go. > How many (percentage) Solaris (10) installations are > approx. > run with Xorg and how many with Xun? Probably all sparc based Solaris installations use Xsun, whereas most i86pc use Xorg. > Just to get an idea about the Solaris usage. I seriously doubt that will give you any idea on "Solaris usage".
