|Will both OpenGL and DPS be eventually brought forward into Xorg?

OpenGL yes, DPS no. OpenGL support for Xorg can be had today in the
nVidia driver packages or via the software-only (i.e. no hardware
acceleration) Mesa packages which are included in Solaris 10 1/06 and
recent versions of Solaris Express.

Time to re-write them to use an API that wasn't abandoned by it's
creators years ago.
