The DRM folks did release their src before those eventually moved into OS/Net:

bash-3.2$ pwd
/export/home/bochnig/devel/TestIT_on_x86/natamar-distro-generator/natamar/open-src/on-src/build_32/usr/src/uts/sparc/qfe
bash-3.2$ find ../../intel|grep radeon
../../intel/io/drm/radeon_drv.c
../../intel/io/drm/radeon_state.c
../../intel/io/drm/radeon_irq.c
../../intel/io/drm/radeon_drm.h
../../intel/io/drm/radeon_io32.h
../../intel/io/drm/radeon_drv.h
../../intel/io/drm/radeon_cp.c
../../intel/io/drm/radeon_mem.c
../../intel/radeon
../../intel/radeon/Makefile
bash-3.2$ find ../../intel|grep 915
../../intel/io/drm/i915_drm.h
../../intel/io/drm/i915_irq.c
../../intel/io/drm/i915_drv.c
../../intel/io/drm/i915_mem.c
../../intel/io/drm/i915_drv.h
../../intel/io/drm/i915_dma.c
../../intel/i915
../../intel/i915/Makefile
bash-3.2$

*HOWEVER*: It would have been of more help, if they also had released
their original diffs against vanilla git drm, which they never did.
Back 9 months ago I needed some time to go back in git until I found a
somehow matching version of the vanilla drm from freedesktop.org. The
time when Sun's DRM team branched off must have been about in late
2006.

And vanilla drm is a quickly moving target, I *wonder* why didn't Sun
integrate their modifications (which now are in OS/Net) upstream in
drm's git!??

Then it would be as easy as nothing to keep the DRM support more
current for Nevada (and consequently also Indiana).
