The AltGr key does not work as a mode switcher for the Russian Xsun layout inru_RU.KOI8-R
and ru_RU.ANSI1251 locales.

Workaround 2: Use IIIMF instead of the Russian keyboard layout.
ArabicText Not Appearing in ar Locales
If your x86 system is using Xorg as the default Xserver, the Arabic font (iso7759-6) does not
appear in the ar locale. This error does not occur if you are using XSun instead of XOrg.
Workaround: Follow these steps.
1. As superuser, edit /usr/dt/config/Xservers.
■
Uncomment or add the following line:
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0
-nobanner -defdepth 24
■
Comment out the following line:
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/X11/bin/Xorg :0
2. Reboot the system.
Alternatively, you can log in to ar_EG.UTF-8 or other UTF-8 locales.
Solaris PDASync Does Not Support Data Exchange
With the Multibyte Internationalized PDA Device
(4263814)
If you exchange multibyte data between a PDA device and Solaris CDE, the data might be
corrupted in both environments.
Workaround: Back up your data on your personal computer with the PDA backup utility
before you run the Solaris PDASync application. If you accidentally exchange multibyte data
and corrupt that data, restore your data from the backup.
