leo/ZX is unsupported after 2.6, altho it will work (unaccelerated) under
2.7 if you install the SUNWleo package from a 2.6 CD-ROM.  Slow as dog
doo, but it was designed for 3D CAD-type applications, nto a full 24-bit
color desktop...

(mm, I'm currently enjoying a Matrox G450 dual-head 16mb AGP SDR video
card I picked up for $105 last night.. wonder how well it would work
under Solaris X86..)
