Hello,
given that OpenSolaris 2008.11 had very significant improvements
(great work indeed :)) in hardware support on current laptops, I am
wondering what can be expected with the upcoming 2009.6 release. For
my case (Thinkpad R61), these are the most interesting issues:
Why not just download the latest 2009.06 LiveCD, and find out? :)

2. Support for additional keys (speaker volume etc.). In Linux these
can be simply mapped to standard X functions via their key codes in
the xmodmap file, but this mechanism does not seem to exist under
Solaris (or does it?)
I've certainly seen these keys working on a couple of Toshiba laptops
with 2009.06, but I don't really know how widespread this support is...
Cheeri,
Calum.
