xterm doesn't use glx - you shouldn't get messages like that, but GLX
acceleration isn't available for ATI graphics right now so it won't buy you 
much.

This message could be simply replaced by "Hey! You're not running Linux!" - the
fbdev module only works there, so we don't ship it, but have never taken the
time to silence the harmless message.

DRI, and thus much hardware acceleration, is simply not available for ATI
graphics on OpenSolaris or Solaris at this time.   If you want hardware
accelerated graphics, use Nvidia or Intel graphics instead, as those vendors
have put in a lot of effort to provide accelerated graphics drivers for
Solaris for their products.
