Description Robert Teeter 2000-04-17 13:31:26 UTC
I'm integrating RedHat Linux with my Sun Solaris boxes.
6.2 has some kind of X weirdness, that doesn't allow
all window operations.

Using Sun Solstice, Disk suite tool I cannot drag & drop
metadevices into the work area.  I get the "not allowed"
pointer when trying to drop them.  This first happened on
a x86 Redhat 6.2 I build specifically as a "head" for
an E-450.  When I tried it on a different  x86 5.2 machine it
worked fine.  I have since upgraded that x86 5.2 to 6.2
and find that I cannot drop the metadevices in the work
area again.

Most X operations seem to work ok.  I can open and
use most applications fine.

(I just retested the the drag and drop on a Sparc Solaris 7
 and it works ok - although sometimes the "not allowed" pointer
 is displayed, it allows the drag and drop as it should.)

I do not have access to that software and as such have no way of reproducing
this at all.  I will be releasing errata shortly however.  Would you be
willing to beta test a potential errata release of XFree86-3.3.6?  It is
entirely possible that it might fix the problem for you.
