All accelerators should be considered broken on Solaris until they are
fixed... there is something global going wrong, not dozens of different
individual bugs.

Yeah, but then we'd end up with a machine running Solaris/x86 that could
be running a perfectly good operating system ;-)

Despite Havoc's offer, the best situation is, of course, if people are
testing and debugging on the platforms they care about.

Before 2.0.0, I tested extensively with XFree86 with XKEYBOARD turned off
and it worked perfectly. Something is different about Solaris.. hopefully
Padraig's investigations on bug 75412 will turn up what that is.
