Yes, I was running EA2 against OSol 126. Off the top of my head I installed
the PAM entries, the Motif libraries and some DHCP stuff. I basically went
down the page adding stuff until it worked with multihead and NSCM.

I completely understand. My intent is not to obtain free technical
support here, more to provide data points from the real world (albeit
non-commercial) which you may or may not already have.

I understand and completely agree. I had data and provided
it, offering to fall back to 4.1 and do more tests if that would be
of value.

No worries. Providing a little feedback is the least I can do
while I sponge off of Sun's generous R&D effort.

No thanks necessary.

I will uninstall then reinstall as soon as my wife is done with Netflix.
