Re: [osol-discuss] Getting rid of that "English/European" banner
The only thing that worked for me is not using an UTF-8 locale. I know
it is ugly but that has accents WITHOUT input mode window
Hope that helps, Alf

Alexander,
Thank you for your extremely valuable tip. I tried the gconf thingie on
the URL you provided but didn't work out. One thing that did work was
adding:
export XIM="htt"
export GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim
export XMODIFIERS="@im=${XIM}"
to my ~/.dtprofile, _but_ accents went off..
I'm using en_US.UTF-8 and I really need accents [1] for my day to day
work.
So to summarize, I need accents and I do not need the "status area
window" or "input mode selection window". Is that possible?
Thanks and I'm all ears 8-)

BTW, while the Linux version of GRUB does not understand the Solaris UFS partition, the "makeactive "command makes it possible for Solaris to be chainloaded from Linux a boot. What I still don't understand is, whether it is possible to install the Solaris version of GRUB on the first sector of the partition where Solaris (or more specifically, the Solaris boot sector) is installed? Most Linux distros ask you this option during installation (i.e., do you want to install GRUB in the MBR or the first sector of a specific partition).

Would I be right in saying that with acpi-user-options=8 my system will not power off at shutdown?

[osol-discuss] Re: Hang installing b20
OK, thanks for that. I've now got Solaris installed and running fine. The next step was to get the network up and running, since Solaris didn't recognise it aat first due to it being a Realtek card rebadged as a D-Link DFE-528TX, which has different vendor and device IDs. I've got the network working using the instructions at: http://solaris-x86.org/documents/tutorials/network.mhtml but DNS doesn't seem to be working properly. nslookup gets addresses fine, but Mozilla isn't doing DNS lookups for some reason. What do I need to do to get DNS working properly? Thanks Andrew. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

The status area is a terminology being used in X11 window system BTW. You can turn this window on and off by using the steps described in the following URL: http://developer.sun.com/techtopics/global/products_platforms/jds/reference/faqs/input-mode-window.html If you'd like to also know on how to switch among supported input languages, please see "Accessing an Input Mode" and also the next a few sections of the S10 International Language Environments Guide at the following: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-2521/6mi67tj50?a=view Also, it seems there is a bug somewhere between GTK+ and Input Method implementation that using mouse to click on the status area may not be working with any GTK+ applications in some cases. In that case, please use input mode switch key sequences instead. The above is for UTF-8 locales by the way. If you're interested in Russian KOI8-R locale, you can use Contrl+T, Control+Space, or Compose c c key sequences to toggle between Russian and English. One way to also examine about the toggle/switch key sequences is to look at SWITCH_STATE_TO key values at /usr/openwin/lib/locale//Compose file where the could be something like ru_RU.KOI8-R but that's not supported Stable interface and can be changed in future without any notice. -- Alexander Zhuravlev ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Re: Hang installing b20
This blog entry describes the acpi-user-options settings: http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/chewmyblog?entry=a_bit_more_elucidation_on acpi-user-options=2 completely disables ACPI. With acpi-user-options=8, ACPI is not disabled, but the kernel won't use ACPI to reconfigure interrupt vectors. This is basically the same mode that Solaris 10 x86 is using. The kernel will use the interrupt vector that was setup by the system's BIOS. When acpi-user-options is not set, and the uppc's variable uppc_unconditional_srs is patched to 0, ACPI is enabled, and can be used to reconfigure a device's interrupt vector. But: valid interrupt assignments from the system's BIOS are used and are not changed. http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/usr/src/uts/i86pc/io/psm/uppc.c#82 http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/usr/src/uts/i86pc/io/psm/uppc.c#uppc_acpi_irq_configure The problem with the VIA chipsets is, that snv with newboot tries to change the USB controller's interrupt vector using the ACPI interpreter, but neither the ACPI interpreter (using the BIOS ACPI tables) nor the Solaris kernel correct the USB controller's PCI interrupt line configuration byte, and with the VIA chipset the PCI interrupt line configuration byte is the ultimate setting to actually change the interrupt vector the USB controller will use to send its interrupts. The workarounds try *not* to change valid interrupt assigments from the system's BIOS.

[osol-discuss] Re: Hang installing b20
Can you tell me how these workarounds actually work? I'm guessing from what is written on the bug page that acpi-user-options=2 disables ACPI - is that right? What does setting it to 8 do?

[osol-discuss] GNOME 2.12.0 for Solaris - 100% completed
Hello, 1. Solaris port of Gnome 2.12.0 Platform - 100% completed. 2. Solaris port of Gnome 2.12.0 Desktop (core packages) - 100% completed I'm reviewing optional packages like Totem 1.2.0, Howl, and Evolution 2.4.0. The Solaris port took 3 days for over 50+ GNOME packages and QA review for basic issues. Automation would have taken one day, yet I reviewed the Solaris build and various GNOME 2.12 Linux distros over the last three days. I've looked at the latest versions of DBUS/HAL/Howl and Cairo for the Solaris port to ensure we had the most current versions available at this time. If Schillix gets upgraded to Nevada >=b22, I'd hope to test a few things on that as well. ~Ken Mays @ EarthLink, Inc. __ Yahoo!
