I myself am not happy with the until now bad and grainy Gnome fonts on the Solaris/X screen. Is this due to no support for font antialiasing in the Solaris 7 Xserver, or are there other options (color depth, screen resolution, changing font types or others) when starting the Solaris Xserver and/or querying the GDM/Linux that can be tried to better the font experience?
May be a Gnome font problem, you could bring up a KDE session and try it from there. I'm not too sure about the results in Solaris 7, I 've only tried it with Solaris 8 and 9 recently. I think we have Solaris 7 servers in the Office where I shall be for a few days, so I shall try it and see what I get. When we had Solaris 7 partitions up on our Primepower M2000, I can't remember any problems, again using KDE of about 3 or 4 years ago.
Just a comment. Though I have tested both Solaris 8 and 9 and have the latest Solaris 9-12/03, I choosed to stay with the earlier Solaris 7. The reason is some compatibilitet issues with older applications and that newer Solaris becomes to demanding for our older Sun4m and sun4c sparc hardware still in use. (Some others mean Solaris 6 is the best for this purpose and even someone prefere the grand old SunOS4.x :-)) Solaris 7 Easy Access Server 3.0 with Adminsuite 2.3's Host Manager GUI tool still had support to set up OS service for diskless clients based on sun4c. This way our first SS1/GX bought in 1989 is still usable as X terminal in 1152x864 resolution. Is there any 15 years old x86 PC hardware still in use out there? :-) Terje
