Right - makes sense to start with what we already have working on Solaris.

I don't think any of the ones supported by the i915 DRM were - only ones
much older than that. But as we've both agreed, it's when we get a more
complete set of DRM modules, like the ATI ones, on SPARC that it really
gets interesting. One step at a time there.

I believe Jay is planning on helping there once you finish your merge,
