I think you have to download and install the packages from http://wwws.sun.com/software/graphics/opengl/download.html plus the OpenGL 1.3 patches from sunsolve.

That is what we tried. We even removed the installed GL packages,
installed them again and added all the GL patches from sunsolve. Xsun
has the GLX extension but Xprt still does not offer this extension.
