That is interesting.  I do not have any graphical experience with Solaris 9, so I have no useful insight to provide.  But what I did notice is that Solaris 8 administrative manual mentions, in relation to keyboards and mice, "Only onboard USB controllers are supported. Plug-in host controller PCI cards are not supported."

I wonder if that situation was changed for 10, but left as-is for 9.

I have an optical, but it requires a dotted metal plate.  I also may have a couple of spare Sun mice (non-optical.)  I know where they are, just a matter of getting to them -- we could work out a deal.

The description of how Solaris prior to 10 handles USB mice for the console is interesting. :-)
