For the closed drivers for SPARC graphics cards:
Previous attempts by non-Sun people to get NDA's failed since you
have to coordinate a 3-way NDA between yourself, Sun, and the OEM
who made the card and is requiring Sun to keep the details secret.
If you want to try again, that's something you'd have to deal with
the SPARC graphics team on, not our core X team.
For the rest of the closed source X bits:
- DPS - No. But it's going away soon with the rest of Xsun.
- The AcceleratedX drivers for Xsun on x86 - I don't know, would have
to ask the x86 team, but we have the XFree86 porting kit to replace them,
and they're also on the way out.
- Most of the other bits we haven't opened - no NDA should be needed,
just time for someone here to sit down and clear/release the code.
If there's something specific you want, let us know.
