Known Problems:
---------------

SunPC software sessions display extra vertical lines on systems with ZX
(LEO) Framebuffers running Solaris 2.4 and this patch.  Systems running
Solaris 2.3 are not effected.

When using the A24 frame buffer, you must either run SunPC with the
'-visual pseudocolor' argument (ie: sunpc -visual pseudocolor) or start
OpenWindows with a default depth of 8 (ie: openwin -dev /dev/fb defdepth 8).

The sunpc_install script must be run outside of OpenWindows (see the Special
Install Instructions)  for the following reasons:

    - A conflict with the OpenWindows hardware cursor.
    - Sunpc_install on Solaris 2.3 Edition 4 has been observed to cause the 
      drvconfig process to not exit properly.  This problem is currently under
      investigation.

As long as sunpc_install is run from the console (ie. outside of OpenWindows),
no adverse effects should be seen.

Patch Installation Instructions: 
-------------------------------- 
Generic 'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts are provided
within each patch package with instructions appended to this section.
Other specific or unique installation instructions may also be
necessary and should be described below.

Special Install Instructions: 
----------------------------- 

This patch is only for sun4c and sun4m systems running Solaris 2.3 or later.

If you are running Solaris 2.4 or later, you must exit OpenWindows
before running the sunpc_install script.  After running the sunpc-install
script, restart OpenWindows before running SunPC.

Before installing this patch, exit any current SunPC session and
verify that no SunPC process is running:

   1) ps -ef |grep spc

After installing the patch, do the following:

   1) Become super-user.
   2) Reinstall sunpc:

	cd /opt/SUNWsunpc/bin (or wherever SunPC is installed)
	./sunpc_install

   3) Exit super-user and run SunPC as before.

Note:  You do NOT need to reboot your system after installing 
	 this patch.
