Is it for the testing of official release of Xorg 1.5 in Solaris? So my understanding is that the test binary should include exactly what is or going to be in Xorg 1.5. Will the switching happen in build 105? I am not sure Xorg VT support would be ready for integration before 105. And our experimental binary is just the one we used to test the kernel. It's based on the assumption that virtual console support is available and vtdaemon service is enabled. The code needs to be enhanced to function well in any kind of situation, i.e. the system does not support virtual console or vtdaemon service is disabled, more importantly, dealing with the state changes dynamically. So I really do not think putting this somewhat immature code in your testing binary is a good idea. Anyway, it's up to you.

Hi All, Virtual console infrastructure has been integrated to the OS/Net (ON) consolidation since snv_100. From now on, you can switch between text consoles if you enable virtual console on your system. The project team is now working on the X server changes so that you can finally switch between X sessions and text consoles as well. And there is a prototype version of Xorg which supports switching between X sessions and text consoles available for downloads. From more information, please visit our project page: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/vconsole/ To configure virtual console and download the virtual- console-supporting Xorg binary, please visit: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/vconsole/Downloads/ We'd prefer all the future discussions go to vconsole-discuss at opensolaris.org And if you are interested in the follow-up project, please subscribe. Thanks, Aaron -- You know some birds are not meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright.
