kfb Xorg ddx module [PSARC/2008/180 Self Review]

[Martin Bochnig]

Subject: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2008/180/

Hello, am I missing something? Has the Xorg-kfb src not been released yet? I'm trying to find it.
It [c|w]ould be interesting to read, and potentially helpful to get other - Xorg mainstream derived - drivers more stable on [XorgXFree86]@SPARC-Solaris [0]. 

[0] For example when a process tries to open /dev/console for writing, while Xorg is running on certain Ati chips. Or the Stop+A issue on Ati.


Or is it binary only?

TIA, %m
