4. Known bugs, and work arounds with Solaris

  1. The Solaris 2.1 for x86 OpenWindows filemgr does not work against a X11R5 Xserver, it probably will also not work against a X11R6 Xserver. Attempting to 'Drag and Drop' a file causes the filemgr to abort with an 'X error'

    Solaris x86 2.4 does not have this problem.

    There is no known work around.

  2. The SPARC port is still quite new, so instability is to be expected (and reported!). It might even have broken some aspects of the x86 port.
  3. The kbd driver is not yet supported on Solaris, but the server still logs a message that it can't find the Keyboard driver and suggests you use kbd. That message should be ignored in this release.
