Mentor confirmed that one of their engineers has seen the same problems on his SB100, and that it is specific to the M64 ATI Rage gfx hardware. The underlying problem is a patch, although neither the X jumbo patch 108652, nor the kernel patch 108528, as I originally assumed, but patch 108606, which is incidentally not part of the Recommended cluster: Patch-ID# 108606-26 Keywords: PGX m64 driver window config Synopsis: SunOS 5.8: M64 Graphics Patch Date: Aug/06/2002 Solaris 8 02/02 includes 108606-18, which according Mentor is exactly the revision that broke everything. The problem was finally fixed with 108606-22, and we are now using 108606-26 w/o problems. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Sep 11 13:48:11 2002
