Yes - that's a known bug being fixed in a later patch rev: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6560332 > Issue 2: I moved to 32 bit.

The 32-bit Xorg works fine on a 64-bit kernel - that's how we've shipped it in Solaris 10 for the past two years (the Xorg 7.2 patch is the first to include a 64-bit Xorg), and even on a 64-bit kernel, the 32-bit Xorg server is still the default on Solaris 10. (On Solaris Express/Nevada, it changes the default Xorg to match the kernel being run, but that could break existing configs if done in a patch, so we just provided the 64-bit as a user-configurable option for S10.) You can switch to the 64-bit Xorg by running: svccfg -s x11-server setprop options/server=/usr/X11/bin/amd64/Xorg but if you're using the nvidia drivers or Trusted Extensions, you'll need to make sure you have versions of those new enough to include the 64-bit modules first. > Issue 3: there seems to be a problem with agpgart. ala: > (EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (Resource temporarily unavailable) The agpgart driver does not yet support the i965 in any Solaris release, but it's being worked on: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6492209 > Now my MAIN issue: I'm happy to live with the above until it's fully fixed > but my main problem now is running TWO video cards.
