Sorry if I confused things with my last e-mail - merging the Xsun & Xorg trees
will only affect those building the code or installing the packages from a
build. It will not change the Xsun code in any way, or in any way change our
lack of an Xorg server on SPARC. Users installing a full Solaris build
will not see any difference at all.

The community Xorg 7.2RC1 release has slipped, so I don't know when our build
will be available.
