Hi Ken, bills are _a_ damn urgent tyrannic core-problem, but still only a side-show. It is more like:
Task: Build the 3 Pyramids of Gizeh in 1:1 size from original stones material as copy 1 mile south of the original Pyramids. Available funds: for food, staff and material: (0 (actually a large negative sum, but let's stick to calling it zero) Available workforce: 2 or 3 unpaid hungry slaves. Available time: 2 to 3 days Is that clearer now? As for the Via/OpenChrome (and other vendors') drivers: You need to check if they also require KMS now or not, if not then they may function on Solaris. But given that LinUX has DRM/KMS for almost everything such chances are getting slimmer by the year. Nevertheless - for Via/OpenChrome that may still be possible because it took very long until they first got KMS stable and into mainline: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=VIA-KMS-Revival But AMD/Ati KMS (or a more modern Intel "i915") : Our only chance in that direction would be, if Oracle itself actually gets this done *plus* decides to share it with us. I'm not convinced of that. Or if we make linuxkpi work. But a few too many "if"'s for such bold statements. Hence my shocked reaction. %martin >Вторник, 27 сентября 2016, 0:08 UTC от ken mays <[email protected]>: > >Hi Martin, > >Right.
