    Attempting to configure Solaris 9 (x86) for X11 display does not work with the current VESA emulation -- and did not work with the prior beta or rc distributions. The window expands to the selected screen size, but remains black.

    Are there plans to fix this issue by GA?

    Thank you,
    Bill

    Please search forum on this issue. Someone have posted instructions how to configure X11 in Solaris to work with Parallels VESA video.

    The instructions only work with Solaris 10. I have that running well. It requires using the Xorg drivers which I have not been able to locate for Solaris 9.

    Yes - sorry. It was my mistake.
    We will investigate Solaris 9 video problem - thanks for reporting!

    Andrew, as an aside - are there plans to provide tools (graphics drivers, mouse drivers, etc) similar to the windows ones for linux or solaris-based Parallels machines?
