Sun Microsystems 817-3630-11 manual Cannot Eject CD From Solaris When Mounted Through Linux

Cannot Eject CD From Solaris When Mounted Through Linux

In Red Hat Linux 9, you cannot eject a CD using Solaris software once the CD is mounted by Linux.

To eject the CD using Solaris by pressing the Meta-E key combination, you must first unmount the CD in Linux. Ejecting the CD using Linux will also unmount the CD prior to ejecting it.

For best results, only eject a CD mounted in Linux from within the Linux window.

USB Keyboards and Mice Only Work With External Monitor

In Red Hat Linux 9, when running Linux on a system monitor, USB keyboards and mice do not function properly because all input is handled by the local X server, not by real or emulated devices attached to the SunPCi card. To use input devices directly attached to the SunPCi card, you must use the external monitor.

Specify the X Input Method for Num Lock and Caps Lock to Work Properly in GNOME

In GNOME in Red Hat Linux 9, when typing in various fields, such as in the GNOME terminal, calculator, and various dialog boxes, the Num Lock and Caps Lock keys might not work properly.

To work properly for each application, right-click and change the Input Method from “Default” to “X Input Method.” You have to make this update within each application.

This issue only applies to the GNOME applications and the gdmgreeter login screen running on the system monitor. This issue does not apply to the KDE application, standard X applications (such as xterm), or any applications running on external monitors.
