"If you're an OpenSolaris x86 user and are using a NVIDIA graphics card with NVIDIA's binary Solaris drivers, you can now enjoy Compiz on your desktop. Erwann Chenede has produced packages of Compiz 0.5.0 for OpenSolaris x86. In fact, to ease the process he has even written an OpenSolaris install script for Compiz. More information (download links) is available from Erwann's Sun Blog."

I don't know if this is what you were talking about but, if you don't know yet, you might want to take a look at Nexenta OS.
It is kind of an unofficial "Debian GNU/OpenSolaris"
I haven't got the time to test and it probably wouldn't run on my hardware, but I would like to give it a try.
Would be a great scenario... OpenSolaris, Gnu userland (with some nice tools from solaris, of course) and a Debian-like release schedule (a bit faster, perhaps) with long life releases for which the developers could aim.
It would be nice to have a selection of software built for, say, Nexenta XYZ, being distributed by their own developers, good support for third party developers and all that stuff that appeal to some but most Linux development ignores.
