Alan, Mainly, a lot of the desktop and laptop computers from OEMs/IHVs from eMachines, Gateway, HP/Compaq, Toshiba and a few of the smaller businesses need Intel 915G/945G support to fully benefit from the distros like Schillix, Belenix, Nexenta and the main Solaris/OpenSolaris releases.
I think some of the Intel 915G support is in the latest Xorg 6.9.*.903 release, yet I don't think it contains a lot of the benefits from Intel's video driver v6.14.10.4421 (production: 14.18.0.4421) released on Nov 9, 2005. Ref: ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/9633/ENG/readme.txt If I was to post something about the support for Intel video graphics, I'd say it would be nice to see community and Sun suport for all of these chipsets based on the current Intel video driver for MS Windows XP: * Intel(R) 855GM Chipset * Intel(R) 852GM Chipset * Intel(R) 855GME Chipset * Intel(R) 852GME Chipset * Intel(R) 910GL Express Chipset * Intel(R) 915GV Express Chipset * Intel(R) 945G Express Chipset * Mobile Intel(R) 915GM Express Chipset * Mobile Intel(R) 910GML Express Chipset * Mobile Intel(R) 915GMS Express Chipset * Intel(R) 915G Chipset * Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset This may be something for Solaris 10u1 if it is not to late to include the support.
