  Are you sparc based though ?  I can do either, but me laptop is
running solaris so
  I'm trying for an x86 port.  I'd like to help in the sparc bits too

  You mean the vm_86.c ?  It compiles and links.
  I have some changes to the sources - though its mainly adding __sun__ to
  ifdef's  I'm trying not to change the actual code in most places.

  Will do.  I'm using rev 177 which is a tad old now.

  I'll pull down the newer rev and try with that.

  Ya, read the code comments :)  I'm going to ping some Sun opengl
people about this
  sometime this week.
