Sorry this is long. It's a sad story. I spent several days setting up
openSolaris on a Sony Vaio lap-top model VGN-FZ140N. It worked great until on
a whim I decided to enable the whizzy Visual Effects from Preference ->
Appearance. This is supposed to show a panoramic view of the four screens when
you move the cursor to the top left corner. It had worked before. Now, it
hangs up the system - nada - frozen - power off time. Worse, when I reboot, it
comes up frozen. If I reboot to the failsafe GNOME, it comes up working, but
a. it doesn't give me access to the visual effects, and b. it also locks up if
I put the cursor in the top left. I can get it stable in the console only
mode, but have no idea from there what to fix. I really don't feel like
re-doing the installation from scratch if there is a good alternative.
