Bob, many thanks.  I just installed 5.3 on Solaris 11 maybe 20 minutes ago.  I 
had been running the latest public 5.2.x, maybe 5.2.3?  I appear to be running 
firmware 4.3_146928-01_2011.06.03.14.41.  This post is merely feedback to 
Oracle, as requested above.


A few things I noticed:
* The upgrade was very simple and easy

* After the upgrade, all the DTUs showed 27B and the 
/var/opt/SUNWut/log/messages showed several variants of:
  May 28 07:37:26 dl585 utxconfig[29116]: [ID 702911 user.info] Error: could 
not open file '/var/opt/SUNWut/displays/11' for reading.
* Issuing "utrestart -c" seemed to clear things up
* The refresh appears faster, but the refreshes on 1G DTUs is still blocky, as 
if it is doing a low-bandwidth refresh
* The random key repeat bug still exists (while holding down a key, key repeat 
fades in and out)

* The lost key modifier bug still exists -- I believe this started with the SRS 
5.2


The last issue is interesting.  The bug is random and I cannot cause it to 
happen every time.  I know that when I do the following, it sometimes happens 
when running on a triple-head Sun Ray session under Solaris 11.  I do not know 
how much of the following is relevant.

* Have 8 total gnome "workspaces" laid out 4 wide and 2 high
* Have a triple-head XP instance running fullscreen on VirtualBox in workspace 
5 (which is the lower left workspace)
* Switch to workspace 5 from workspace 1 using key bindings (which I have 
configured as Ctrl+Alt+Down)

In the above scenario it always switches to the XP workspace correctly, but 
sometimes the modifiers are lost.  I noticed this because logging in sometimes 
fails.  My XP username is all lowercase but the password needs the shift key.  
In addition, the VirtualBox "host" key (right Ctrl) no longer works.  If I 
minimize a VB screen and begin typing into a native Solaris application (e.g. 
gnome terminal), the key modifiers still will not work.  If I click on another 
workspace in "workspace switcher" then the keys start working again.

Strange, huh?

Thanks for all of your work on this,
Marty
