I would assume they wouldn't as well, but one can hope.

Apparently you are right about that.  I'm surprised.  I would have
thought that MythTV would have been running on Solaris already.  It runs
on both linux and osx already, and all of the listed dependencies run on
Solaris as well (mysql, gcc, freetype2-devel, xorg-xserver-devel,
qt, lame, mplayer, xine, ffmpeg, etc).

Plus there is DVI.  I wonder if one of the Nvidia or ATI X?00 cards with
HD component video out would work nicely with Solaris (I'm sure the card
would work, but I don't know if the video out would be properly
supported in either case).
