The XVR-100 should be supported by default now (Sun OpenSolaris' Xorg, as shipping in OS2009.06). Give it a go and report back if you run into trouble. Or do you mean SXCE? Then your installation will automatically use Xsun which is still in there. No extra steps should be required, either way. -- %martin
