- Err, not quite.
- In order to run a GL application, you need a GL server running on the
- machine in question. To the best of my knowledge, there is not
- currently an OpenGL server running on the SUn ( by which I mean a
- commercially or freely available one, I am sure that people are working
- on it)
- Without that, you can only display X programs on he sun, not GL ones.
