You're right, but that's only true for Solaris' uname implementation (which is bad enough in that respect). Workaround: Use "isainfo -k", I usually do this, i.e. here: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commitdiff;h=6bd4c254396cb0f4e8ae21ff455ebb15cd9f4f10 (which I could of course have been implemented more economically) Martin _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
