[OpenIndiana-New-developers] GEM/KMS support in kernel

[Jani Nieminen]

Is there any ongoing effort to port GEM (Graphics Execution Manager) and KMS (Kernel-Mode Setting) for OpenIndiana or should I say for Illumos? They are needed because for example newest ATI Radeon drivers (xf86-ati-video) depends on those systems, so for example you can get full ATI driver support for Xorg (with 3D acceleration etc).

For FreeBSD there's this guy from Ukraine porting those kernel subsystems (GEM/KMS/TTM) from Linux to FreeBSD side. Can we take any advantage from this FreeBSD code when it gets released? I mean is it easier to port code from BSD to Solaris than from Linux to BSD?
