X-org 1.5 or higher for Solaris guests

Post by joergm »

Hi,

I'm pretty new to VB and unfortunately to Unix as well, this might excuse my question:
I'm running VB 3.0.2 on OpenSolaris and have successfully created guest machines with OpenSolaris64 and Solaris10 (also 64bit).
The application I want to run on the guest requires OpenGL and the VB User Manual states:
"OpenGL on Solaris guests requires X.org server version 1.5 and higher."

Here is my problem: Solaris10, even the latest download, comes only with X.org server version 1.3.
I wasn't able to find any package SUNWxorg-server etc with a newer version.
Can someone help me please?

Thanks,
- Joerg.

Try asking your question on one of the opensolaris.org related mail lists/forums.

Thanks for the hint!
But not sure whether they can help me - for OpenSolaris newer X versions are available. But I will try...
