I have written my installation notes at http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~simigern/sunray-debian/ This includes my preload-thingy for utaudio to work with the old debian-woody glibc and Linux 2.4 without tls-patches. This should be (nearly) everything I needed to do, but I have some problems running utres{def,adm} saying internal system error. Doing some mv's in my init-script works around this, but I don't consider these hacks a good solution. # strace /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utresdef ... open("/var/opt/SUNWut/ndbm/dstatus", O_RDONLY) = 4 fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=13036, ...}) = 0 fcntl64(4, F_SETLK, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = -1 EAGAIN ... write(2, "Internal system error\n", 22Internal system error Complete strace at: http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~simigern/sunray-debian/files/strace-utresdef > I'm trying to figure out how to get gdm 2.6.0 working.

I gave up on gdm and modified the xmgr-stuff to use wdm (which we are running at the university on all our linux-clients, so no differences for our users). And the result: Running about 50 Sunrays from 1 Dual Xeon 3GHz/4GB Debian/Woody machine feels faster then our previous setup (2*SF280R, 2*U60).
