Hello,

We have found Sun Rays to be a terrific way to provide multiheaded goodness for 
my family of 5.  The DTUs are the first generation.

Shortly after the SXCE EOL announcement, I took the plunge and installed OSol 
and noticed things went rather smoothly, but I am experiencing a few things not 
mentioned elsewhere.

The Xinerama option (utxconfig) is not honored -- at all.  The workaround is 
after every restart to perform the following.
$ pfexec rm /etc/opt/SUNWut/ut_disable_xinerama
$ pfexec /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utrestart -c

Has anyone else noticed this?

Also, the DTUs on a MH display seem to refresh one at a time.  For example, I 
will go to a virtual desktop and the right screen will refresh, then the 
center, then the left.  The order seems to be random, but they don't refresh 
simultaneously.  I assumed this was because I had only a single 100mb NIC on 
the server, allowing one DTU to consume all bandwidth.  Later this year, I will 
be putting in a V40Z which has GBE and am hopeful it will perform better.

Finally, is there any way to control which is the "primary" DTU in terms of 
where the login screen appears and which DTU has the GNOME task bar, menus, 
etc.?  It seems that the leftmost DTU always plays that role, regardless of 
which DTU is primary on the MH group.

All told, a terrific solution and I am glad to see there is a community out 
there to support these.

Cheers,
Marty
