Hello all!


Here is a little exchange from the OpenSolaris XWindow mailing list:

I have checked that URL; it seems that nobody has asked for release of
docs/drivers for the cgfourteen (aka SX) graphics found in SS10s and
SS20s.

It also seems that Sun will actually start looking for requested stuff;
and has in some cases succeeded in supplying the desired information.

Since I know that several readers of this list are interested in docs
on cgfourteen/SX, maybe someone could ask for it in the web form given
at the above URL?  I don't think you have to be affiliated with an
entity such as TNF; just an individual query would suffice.

Yes, I am also interested, but in a very remote way.  :-)  I think
it would be better if the requestor intends to actually _do_ something 
with the information.
