Ok, I see.  That wouldn't impede binary distribution (perhaps from the
support repository), provided the suggested Xsun->Xorg shim would be
available?  Given that the binary Xsun drivers are already availabe for
download from opensolaris.org, probably not.

So the OpenBSD Xorg driver is probably reengineered.
