Cool, and of course unsupported. Converting the drivers to 64-bit probably isn't quite as easy as getting them to build in a 32-bit 2.6 kernel. Unfortunately we've had no time to even look at it, 3.1 has been almost entirely focused on Solaris 10 and Solaris x86. > > Support for 64-bit 2.6 kernels is on the wish list for the next > > release, I'd give it about a 70% chance.

Sorry, no, it'd be the as-yet-unnamed release after 3.1. > I'd love to see this feature added; who should I email? :) You can use the SRSS alpha/beta response address, <srss-feedback-ext>. Mail sent there goes directly to the Sun Ray product team. There's no guarantee that you'll get what you ask for, but just knowing that there's real customer desire for a particular feature improves the feature's chances of getting into a release. If you have a Sun support contract then you should be able to work through the support organization to file a formal Request For Enhancement (RFE) against Sun Ray. An RFE carries more weight than simple email when it comes to assigning feature priorities for future releases. OttoM. __ ottomeister Disclaimer: These are my opinions.
