[Vis5d-users] OpenGL

I'm planning for computers in our meteorology instruction lab and
am looking at intel boxes running Solaris x86. Vis5D will be an
integral teaching tool. Can you help with some questions I've got
and also provide any helpful hints or heads-up's?

1. What version of Solaris-for-intel is recommended for Vis5D?

2. I read the x86 FAQ (sun.pmbc.com/faq/s86faq.txt) to say OpenGL,
required by Vis5D, can only be had on Solaris/intel platforms via
installation of XFree86. Is that true? Our campus has a site license
for Solaris 7 for intel. Does OpenGL come on that?

3. What video card(s) on intel does Vis5D 'like'. 

4. Is 64MB of VRAM
pretty much essential for 3D rendering in v5d?

5. Any other words of wisdom on this subject?

Many thanks, -Neil
