	Thanks to :
	Mike, Ville Jorma, Peter Ondruska for the link to 
	XFree86 Video Drivers and Porting kit 
http://soldc.sun.com/developer/support/driver/tools/video/video-index.html

	Thanks to
	Alan Pae and Tim Chipman for their suggestion .

	So, XFree86 Porting kit was the correct package to solve my issue.
	But it raised another one. The driver for Intel 740 (i740) board is
included in Porting kit version 4.0.3 without configuration file needed
to kdmconfig ! So I had to hack a conf file and then re-run kdmconfig.

	The best method I found to have the i740 support was :

	- Download Porting Kit v4.0.3
(http://soldc.sun.com/developer/support/driver/tools/video/xf86_drv_port_bin_403_3.tar.gz)
	
	- Download and install last X11 patches :
		108653, 108920, 108922, 108941, 109355, 109401
	- Provide configuration file to kdmconfig (put
		http://www.unikservice.com/frp/i740.xqa
			into
 		/usr/X11R6/etc/devdata/SUNWaccel/boards/xf86/ )
	- reboot
	- run kdmconfig and choose XF86-I740 as device driver
