Martin's drivers are not integrated into SXCE, and I have not heard of
any definite plans to integrate them. The SPARC graphics team is
providing their own Xorg drivers for XVR-2500 (already in SXCE), and
XVR-50/100/300 (planned for the OpenSolaris 2009 sparc release, but
not SXCE - see their ARC case for details). Tim Cramer is polling
the community on support for older SPARC devices in the OpenSolaris
SPARC distro release and knows that Martin's drivers are an option
for that, should Sun decide to support some of the older SPARC devices.
If not, Glynn & I have talked about making them available as
supported-by-community-but-not-Sun drivers in the OpenSolaris repo,
but no work has been done on that yet (since there is no SPARC repo
yet, and we should be on Xorg 1.5 first).
