Well I wish Sun would admit to it somewhere on their Website. I am using a SPARC Ultra-2 with the "Creator Graphics" board inside it, and the Jan. 06 release of Solaris 10. Can you say whether that should work? Or whether installing a later release would help (sadly, Sun no longer provide even browsable access to their patches). As to the +render flag, I have called 'strings' on Xsun, and no string containing "render" within it, so I doubt my version supports that. Is the Xsun source available someplace? (no trace of it on Opensolaris.org). -- Charles H.
