Hello, OpenSolaris folks. I recently inherited an unused Sun Blade 1500 Red, an UltraSPARC IIIi box. I have downloaded the latest AI image for sparc, which is thankfully bootable as this is the only Solaris box that we have in the lab. To make a long story short, I was able to install and boot into OpenSolaris. I was also able to add a second disk to the root ZFS pool as a mirror and attach it to our NIS, which is surprising for me since I'm not a sysadmin, just a software developer.
Now, for the question. I see on the website that XVR-600 graphics are not supported by Xorg. I was under the impression that Xsun isn't an option for OpenSolaris, meaning that I will not be able to run X on the console for this box. Is this correct? This isn't such a terrible thing for me, as the box's intended use doesn't require X, but it would still be nice. Is there a way to run a slower X on this machine, e.g. an equivalent to running Xorg in VESA mode with an unsupported graphics card on a Linux box?
