Well, I had my answer even before I talked to anyone from Sun.
Many people responded to tell me to talk to Parallax, so that is
what I did. It seems that Parallax just recently (within the last
month or so) released their modified version of Openwin 3.0
that works with the XVideo boards and allows you to display
live video in openwindows. I was also told that early next
year they will have an X11R5 version available also. The current
openwin 3.0 is free to customers with the XVideo board but future
updates will not be free unless you have their S/W subscription
service. All I wanted to know was: Is it available and when can
I have it in my posession ?

Several people responded and were interested in the same thing,
so as a service to them and NOT as an advertisement for Parallax
here is the number to call: (408) 727 2220.
