Yes.  For Solaris 9, we added IPv6 support to Xsun.  As we did this we
found a few areas the X protocols needed to be updated to support this,
and we've been working with X.org to get the standards revised to include
this.  We've produced a set of patches that add this support to X11R6.6
& XFree86 4.3.0 that we are preparing to release as part of the public
review of the standards changes in the near future.  (I'm currently doing
some final testing of the 4.3.0 patches on Linux & interoperability testing
between them & what we already released in Solaris 9.)
