Actually I think this bug is a big deal and makes opensolaris hardly usable.. To see how bad the problem can be try to install and run opera. Type something in address bar. For example, instead of opensolaris.org it turns out to be: opensoslari.org, or instead of google.com: ggooole.cm. See how letters that appear twice, move to different places.
To test if you have this problem without installing opera, open gnome-termianl and press and hold any letter key. If you have this problem, you will see stalls every 20-60 letters. Interesting observation, if you move mouse while holding key, no stalls happen. And even in opera everything works: typing while moving mouse no hangs. However this is hard to type and move mouse at the same time, thus this is not a real work around :-) My suspect that this problem occurs only on laptops with some Intel video cards, from what I found about laptops in this thread: Lenovo ThinkPad R61: Intel GMA X3100 Lenovo ThinkPad X301: Intel GMA 4500MHD Toshiba Tecra M9: Intel GMA X3100. Attached is output from device driver utility about video card on my laptop. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org -------------- next part -------------- node name: display Vendor: Intel Corporation Device: Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller binding name: pci8086,2a02 devfs path: /pci at 0,0/display at 2 compatible name: (pci8086,2a02.1179.1.3)(pci8086,2a02.1179.1)(pci1179,1)(pci8086,2a02.3)(pci8086,2a02)(pciclass,030000)(pciclass,0300) driver name: i915 instance: 0 driver state: Attached ddi-no-autodetach: 1 fm-errcb-capable: TRUE fm-ereport-capable: TRUE pci-msi-capid-pointer: 90 acpi-namespace: _SB_.PCI0.VGA_ assigned-addresses: 83001010 reg: 1000 compatible: pci8086,2a02.1179.1.3 model: VGA compatible controller power-consumption: 1 fast-back-to-back: TRUE devsel-speed: 0 interrupts: 1 max-latency: 0 min-grant: 0 subsystem-vendor-id: 1179 subsystem-id: 1 device_type: display unit-address: 2 class-code: 30000 revision-id: 3 vendor-id: 8086 device-id: 2a02
