[OpenIndiana-discuss] XNV_174a and 175a

I just noticed an article on the OI wiki with instructions for building
newer versions of X than the one included with oi_151a (
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+XNV_174a+on+oi_151a). I'm a bit
unclear on the contents because it alternately refers to both XNV_174a and
XNV_175a. The latest version I see in the Mercurial repository is 174a, but
the article mentions success building 175a and suggests updating to 175a for
Sandy Bridge graphics support. Does this mean Sandy Bridge graphics are not
supported by XNV_174a? I'm interested in a laptop that comes with Intel HD
3000 graphics and want to explore the possibility of getting it to work
using the instructions in this article.

Thanks,
Ian Johnson
