Hello, The lockdown (pkg freeze) is needed mainly on the XServer and Intel driver.You need to maintain Intel driver's 2.6.3 or 2.9.1 for XServer 1.7.7. If you've updated to hipster-2014.1, you've done well enough. Thanks,Ken

(and that could allow testing if it is needed when things improve. You update to latest hipster-2014.1 or install from 20141010 ISO if it is new install, or in a working BE for your intel hardware, and you enter: (with pfexec or sudo) pfexec pkg freeze consolidation/X/X-incorporation pfexec pkg freeze x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-video-intel And then add new repository (pkg set-publisher-g , -G to remove old) if needed, and update (pkg update -v). That way , if new packages you have installed does not depend on newer X and intel driver that does not work, you get same packages as hipster-2015 except X and intel driver consolidations. And hopefully newer packages won't depend on them, until it is once solved in illumos and you unfreeze them. _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
