Oracle and Fujitsu are working together to develop the SPARC64 architecture.

If I take an _old_ example: T2000. You can have a "Sun branded" on and a "Fujitsu branded" one to but both have the same hardware.

UNIX Server SPARC Enterprise T2000 : Fujitsu Global

Who built it first? I can't tell you.

Same thing for M series etc ...

It's also a fact that both vendors offer hardware support for the whole plateforms.

Check the vendor-ids from "prtpicl -v" you'll be surprised.

And no, SPARC is not an Oracle trademark. It was developped by Sun in the late 80s. It's Sparc International's trademark.

IMHO, Fujitsu will buy Oracle's hardware developement divsion / technical support people.

fujbp

FUJBP(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						  FUJBP(4)

NAME

     fujbp, fujhk -- Fujitsu Brightness, Pointer, and Hotkeys

SYNOPSIS

     fujbp* at acpi?
     fujhk* at acpi?

DESCRIPTION

     Some Fujitsu laptops come with vendor-specific ACPI devices to manage the laptop hotkeys (such as the 'Eco' button), and to control various
     built-in components (such as the display, the touchpad, and the speakers).  The fujbp and fujhk drivers provide support, through these ACPI
     devices, for hotkeys, backlight on/off switch, brightness level control, and pointer on/off switch.

     The following sysctl(8) read/write variables are provided (when hardware support is available):

	   hw.acpi.fujbp0.brightness  Brightness level (integer).

	   hw.acpi.fujbp0.pointer     Pointer switch state (boolean).

	   hw.acpi.fujhk0.backlight   Backlight switch state (boolean).

     Please note, however, that future versions of the drivers may remove these sysctl(8) variables without prior notice.

SEE ALSO

     acpi(4), acpivga(4), sysctl(8), pmf(9), sysmon_pswitch(9)

HISTORY

     The fujbp and fujhk drivers appeared in NetBSD 6.0.

AUTHORS

     Gregoire Sutre <gsutre@NetBSD.org>

CAVEATS

     Brightness level and backlight switch state should be controlled via wsconsctl(8) instead of sysctl(8).

     The sysctl(8) variable hw.acpi.fujbp0.pointer should be replaced by a platform-independent userland control.
