We're here! But I'm a bit confused between your BSD ports and using xorg vs. reviving Xsun. It sounds like you are in favor of the latter.

Given there's only a relatively small number of SPARC graphics users (I wonder how many there really are), there probably aren't resources to support parallel efforts, but you both are in a better position to judge the relative merits of the approaches. With sxce currently scheduled to end in December, there isn't much time. So what would you like us to do? I'm willing to put some time in if it would help... Cheers -- Frank
