The XFree86 port to this platform is still a work in progress, and as such, must still be built from source (preferrably CVS source). Follow the instructions in Domain.note and README.Solaris. If problems remain after this please post about them on devel@xxxxxxxxxxxx Patches to bring this port closer to binary distribution quality would also be most appreciated.
