Thanks, that worked a lot better!

I just want to try and compile different drivers (xf86-video-ati) and 
see how changes in the source affects the system. But it seems that not 
all source is in there (in this case xnv), all I see are ".patch" files 
and no ".c" or ".h" files.

Perhaps these sources only contain adaptations or extensions of existing 
Linux source files so that they compile properly under OpenIndiana. If 
that's the case I may need the Linux sources files to make them compile 
(the Makefile scripts are not executable, strange...).
