You've hit a known bug with Intel graphics on machines with >3gb RAM - there's a workaround documented in the release notes: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/rn3/ (The release note was written before we narrowed it down to the RAM size - another workaround is to remove RAM.) -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
