Please be aware that a rather HUGE amount of bug fixing and device driver work has gone into Nevada builds this summer and in the last several weeks. These bugs include new device driver support, fixes, power mgmt improvements, suspend/resume for the first set of laptops for the OpenSolaris 2008.11 release (after build 100 Nevada), Gnome Power Manager icon, lcd brightness control, new WiFi support, improved network auto-configuration, first phase Virtual Console support, and much more. So if you have access to numbered OpenSolaris builds or Nevada builds, you will really be interested to play with builds 100 and forward. In the next 30 days or sooner, we will write a few blogs to introduce more detail about suspend/resume, how to enable it on laptops that were not part of our development and testing, and other new features.
