latest patches break Java Desktop on Dell 2800
I have solaris 10 x86 installed on a Desll Poweredge 2800. I have just loaded all the latest patches via updatemanager.Now if I try to log into any account to the gnome Sun Java Desktop the machine logs in ... then hangs before any of the toolbars etc are loaded ... it hangs so badly I have to reboot via the powerswitch
If I login using CDE it works perfectly. The Java Desktop did work until the latest batch of patches was installed. Does anyone have any Idea on how to fix this?

What kind of video video card is installed in that Dell box?
If it is an ATI Radeon 7500 AGP card (or another R100, R200 based ATI
chipset): Sounds as if you're running into xorg bug #3222:
<a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3222" target="_blank">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3222</a>< br />
Try the workaround from the bug report's comment section, add the
following line to the device ati section in xorg.conf:
Option"RenderAccel""False"

In a default configuration, there is no xorg.conf file. When xorg.conf is
missing, all the settings are auto-probed.
You can use "/usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg -configure" or /usr/X11R6/bin/xorgconfig
to create an initial xorg.conf file.
Install the customized xorg.conf file as /etc/X11/xorg.conf
