# Solaris

Unix operating system from Sun Microsystems for sparc, sparc64, x86, and amd64 hardware. 


## Status

For the DRI to work on Solaris, someone would need to implement the DRM layer.  This would involve adding a DRM kernel subsystem to the Solaris kernel, and possibly adding some Solaris support to libdrm. 

This has been done in the development release of Solaris ("Nevada"), and the i915 DRM module provided.
