Does anyone know where I can find the XVideo extension for Solaris 10 running 
on a Sun Blade 100? I have a DVD player on a Linux laptop and a large monitor 
on the Blade, so I would like to display the DVD output (video and sound) from 
the laptop on the Blade. The Blade does not have a DVD drive, on a CD-ROM.

After setting xhost on the Solaris/Blade to accept connections from the laptop, 
I use ssh to login on the laptop and set the DISPLAY variable on the laptop to 
the IP address of the Solaris/Blade (export DISPLAY=192.168.2.2:0.0). Then I 
execute the video player command. However, I get this error message on the 
monitor of the Solaris/Blade:

Xlib:  extension "XVideo" missing on display "192.168.2.2:0.0".

I'm able to run other X11-based client programs on the laptop and have them 
display on the Blade's X11 server, so the settings of xhost on the Blade and 
DISPLAY on the laptop are correct. 

I have searched for the XVideo extension for X11 on Solaris 10 Sparc release 
but can't find it. If anyone has a suggestio, I would very much greatly 
appreciate.

-- TIA, TT
