Features That Might Be Removed in a Future Release

The following features might not be supported in a future release.

`Audiovia97` Driver

The Audiovia97 driver might be removed in a future Oracle Solaris release.

32-bit x86: Kernel Hardware Support

Support for the 32–bit only x86 hardware might be removed from a future Oracle Solaris release. You can either upgrade your hardware or continue to use the Oracle Solaris 11 Express release or other previous Oracle Solaris releases.

Support for running 32-bit applications and libraries will continue. Only 32-bit kernel support is affected here.

32-bit x86: X Servers and Drivers

32–bit versions of the Xorg, Xephyr, Xvfb, Xdmx, and Xvnc X servers might be removed in a future Oracle Solaris release.

Note - These X servers are already not included for SPARC platforms.

Any Xorg loadable module (including video drivers, input device drivers, and extensions) that is not provided in a 64–bit version cannot be used in such a release. When a usable video driver is not found, Xorg will generally fall back to the vesa driver.

The Xorg drivers in the following x86 video devices, currently provided only in 32–bit versions might be affected:

`apm`	Alliance Promotion
`ark`	Ark Logic
`chips`	Chips & Technologies
`glint`	3DLabs/T1 Glint
`i128`	Number Nine Imagine 128
`i740`	Intel i740
`neomagic`	NeoMagic
`rendition`	Rendition Verite
`s3`	S3
`s3virge`	S3 ViRGE & Trio3D
`savage`	S3 Savage
`siliconmotion`	Silicon Motion
sis	SiS & XGI
`tdfx`	3Dfx
`tga`	DEC 21039/TGA
`tseng`	Tseng Labs

For more information, see the man page for each driver. You can find the sources for the drivers at the X.Org Foundation.
