OpenSolaris - VMWare - JDS: Screen Saver

If you are running OpenSolaris on VMWare make sure you shut off the screen saver in JDS before you do anything else. I have had a few instances where the screen saver locks the screen and will not unlock. I haven't figured out the pattern to duplicate the bug yet but running a screen saver in VMWare isn't really a good idea anyway.

Other than that, OpenSolaris runs like a champ on VMWare. I hope VMWare will someday soon fully support Solaris on VMWare and even better VMWare on Solaris!

yes, it's definitly a bug -- I'm running Xorg with a config file built from xorgconfig -- specified vmware as the graphics driver.

Also, this was on build 27 of Nevada.
