x86: Xsun DDX Modules, Library, and Related Files

Certain DDX modules for Xsun might be removed from a future Solaris release. These modules are used when you configure the Xsun X server on the kdmconfig screen, Video Device Selection, by selecting an entry that is not prefixed with “XF86.” The files affected by this notice include the following:

• Files in the /usr/openwin/server/modules directory whose names do not have the ddxSUNWxf86 prefix

• The /usr/openwin/server/lib/libaccel.so.1 library

• Files with the .xga suffix under the /usr/openwin/share/etc/devdata/SUNWaccel/boards directory

Sun recommends that for your preferred X server, use the Xorg X server whose DDX modules provide comparable functionality to the Xsun X server. However, if you use the Xsun X server, you can still use the XFree86 DDX modules. These are modules with the prefix ddxSUNWxf86 and whose entries in the kdmconfig screen, Video Device Selection, begin with “XF86.” These modules provide comparable functionality to the Xsun DDX modules that might be removed.
