The following is a snippet from the release notes describing new support, enhanced support and bug fixes present in this release.
- On this date (2/10/2005), some problems were discovered with the Solaris packages when used with the 'official' Solaris 10 GA release, which occurred after these packages were originally built and released last week:
- xsvc 3.0-54 corrects a kernel panic issue on Solaris 10-GA due to header file differences between S10-b72 and the official GA release.
- change the use of 'Xserver' script used in new dt/config/Xservers config file to just use 'X', so there is a hope of using our server with dtlogin.
- correct bug where server could hang if an attached fontserver disappeared.
- correct problem whereby a fontpath element could be rejected due to a mis-named fontfile (cursor.pcf.gz.artwiz and others). These files are ignored and a message to this effect is written to X0messages for each one encountered.
- correct problem where all available PCI busses were not scanned when looking for video chips.
- correct problem in Xaccel's malloc for regcomp() in glibc-2.3.4 systems that expect malloc(0) to return a useful pointer. This caused module loading to fail with various undefined symbols. Seen on RH FC3 and updated Slackware 10 systems.
- corrected a memory allocation race in XKB that could cause a variety of problems with newer glibc's. Most noticable on RH fedora core 3 systems.
- Try to pacify GNOME 'gswitchit' keyboard module (the annoying and bogus warning about 'possible internal Xserver problem').
- fixed problem that caused wide, stippled lines to be drawn incorrectly at certain orientations on non-TCL capable hardware.
- corrected problem where mouse movements could cause the server to occasionally idle the graphics engine uneccessarily.
- fixed bug in synaptics driver that prevented window dragging and resizing from working when using EVDEV on linux 2.6 kernels.
- corrected a problem with Matrox interrupt handling on linux 2.6 kernels. This might also affect 3Dlabs Wildcat 5 and 6.
- corrected problem that could cause issues with digital flatpanels on G450/550.
- corrected a problem that could cause intel chipsets to hang on subsequent invokations of the Xserver after the first one.
- elo touchscreen driver could hang if the device was broken, or unavailable.
- fixed bug in multihead touchscreen scenarios that could cause input events to get lost during a core pointer screen switch.
- account properly in Xservers file for Solaris 10 systems. - save off /usr/X11/bin/X as well on S10 systems. - under Linux, account for TLS versions of GL/GLU
NOTE: If you installed a version of 2.2-20 prior to this release announcement on Solaris 10 systems, please download the latest Solaris Summit tarballs. This tarball includes a new xsvc (3.0-54) and some postinstall fixes required for the official Solaris 10 (GA) release. This release is not compatible with Solaris 10 beta (EA) releases. Only the official S10 release (GA) is supported.
