Re: [orca-list] OpenSolaris



The 2010 version of OpenSolaris will come with a more recent version of GNOME. But, I'd recommend sticking with 2009.06 for now because of the audio integration problems we're experiencing. I hope to see them resolved in a release very soon (b121).

Is it possible to upgrade to 2.26 or even 2.27?
Many thanks,

You're best off sticking with 2009.06 for now. We're very early in the 2010 cycle and there have been some audio integration problems.

Hi Alex:

The instructions for 2009.06 are at

http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/status/accessibility/AccessibleLiveCd/.
 Can you please point me to the instructions you are using for 2008.11?
 I'd like to make sure they at least point to the 2009.06 set.

keyboard after the CD stops spinning, then wait for Gnome to start.  I
get no audio after this, even if I press alt-f2 and try to start Orca
manually.  I think the audio hardware should be supported by Solaris as
I'm running under Virtualbox, and the physical machine I tried after
Virtualbox failed has a rather old Creative PCI soundcard in it that I
believe solaris supports.  Have the instructions changed since the
previous version, or should I do more checking into my audio hardware?
VirtualBox is a struggle when it comes to audio support.  Some people
have managed to get it working OK (it's on my long list of many things
to do).  You might be interested in this thread:
