I installed it on DELL D810 laptop with 1920x1200 screen resolution. The resolution was discovered and set automatically. Wireless was OK too, after I answered WEP key question for my home network.

One problem I have so far is that iwi0 (wireless) dhcp updates /etc/resolv.conf but when I connect at work through the cable (bge0 driver, I think) I do not get new DNS servers in resolv.conf.

The other missing feature is access to NTFS on Windows partition. Ntfs-3g works quite well under Linux for write/read. Well, except of speed...

I had a dual boot with Fedora 7 and Windows. Fedora seemed to be faster then Windows minimum as Subversion updates go, but Solaris looks faster then Fedora.
