Ok, it seems I'm the only one still having some SPARC workstations in reserve. As opensolaris.com (Sun) does not plan to bundle the fox-gate's "legacy" (until recently "Premium") drivers with the upcoming SPARC-Indiana (aka "OpenSolaris" 2009.06), I see myself forced to always clone it and add the driver support as depicted in http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/fox/SPARC-Xorg/ ). The entire thing is disrespectful towards the users of "legacy" hardware (I dodn't mention my own part in various aspects). After a short while .com will realize, that it is unwise to leave out the former premium customers from the Indiana experience, customers who had paid huge amounts of cash until quite recently 2004/5/6 when you consider the SunBlade 2000, 150, 1500 and 2500 plus the Ultra3 Laptops. > Cheers, > %martin
