I would appreciate if someone fixed this soon.
Right now, if I use screensaver on a Sun, most of the time the station locks up.
It gives my that password prompt but will not unlock my screen even if I type
in the right password.
In theory, I should be able to remedy this by typing:
add sipb
xfree machinename
In reality, xfree is an unknown command to the Sparc classic.
Right now, the only to deal with this problem is to wait until that black box
appears saying "if you need this workstation, click here to log switch out"
and I can end up waiting a very long time.
Please, put xfree on the Suns.
Regarding Suns:
Another thing I noticed is that sometimes the screen does really funky things to
text at the edges in EZ. That is much less frequent, but you may want to check it out.
