At this time, some effort is underway to utilize the new hardware drivers under Xorg 7.1+ and hopefully merge Xsun under the Xorg umbrella (one ring to bind them all - meaning we can use Xorg device drivers to support modern cards for SPARC hardware). Legacy card support is being done by Martin (look over in the PowerPC discussions).

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.
