Not only that, I remember X.org source tree had a bult-in x86 emulator so VGA bios of some PCI video cards could be run on Solaris.

- mjg59 2y agoTechnically not related to Solaris, since Solaris x86 existed and you wouldn't need it there, but yes, this was used on Sparc and any other CPU unable to run the card BIOS (including 64-bit x86 Linux, since virtual 8086 mode goes away when you're on long mode)
