I hope that people see this and read what is not being said here.
The processes at Sun are really nicely open and damn near transparent. You
hit a bug with a driver in a bleeding edge build and you posted it publicly.
Well done. Thank you Alan.
The NVidia graphics hardware support is a sweet feature in Solaris now and I
for one was looking at a GE Force 5500 ( I think thats what its called ) AGP
graphics framebuffer and thankfully I have been real busy lately and my
system is still way back on snv_38. Thats sooo last week. :-)
But graphics will work and presumedly the bug will be squashed in short order.
cool .. thank you Alan.
