SPARC Solaris or x86 Solaris? I was trying to build X11 on SPARC Solaris:

- Using pkgsrc, I couldn't get neither Xorg or XFree86 to build properly.

- Downloading source files and building by hand, I was able to build Xorg, but
couldn't get Xserver to run, I was also able to build XFree86 by hand with some
hacks and patches and it ran pretty well on my Ultra 10 with Creator3D
framebuffer.

The problem you're having building Xorg on Solaris from pkgsrc is related to
the fact that meta-pkgs/xorg/Makefile.common does not support Solaris. You
could try copying the following from meta-pkgs/XFree86/Makefile.common

.elif ${OPSYS} == "SunOS"
