[SPARCbook] Display problem with Netscape 4.73 under Solaris 2.6

[Kurt Huhn]

On a Sparc Classic, I installed the Netscape version that came with 2.6.
Version 3 I think?  It works great - it's older and doesn't have some of the
multimedia features, but it works.

Hello,
    I have installed Netscape Communicator 4.73 on my SPARCBook 3GX running
Solaris 2.6, but I am having a problem - when I call up a web site, the
initial screen
appears fine, but if I scroll down, the display is jumbled.

    By jumbled I mean, for example, the lines of text that were previously
covered up
are now displaying a few times in succession,and sometimes over other lines.
It
is as if the CPU/display can not keep up with the scroll request and just
tries it's best
to "throw up" what it can.

    There must be a usable version on Netscape around for SPARC/Solaris,
does
anyone have any suggestions?

    The software installed is SOlaris 2.6, the Sun Reccommended Patch
Cluster, the
Tadpole Software Package, and the Tadpole Patches from Hugo's FAQ.

Thanks in advance,

Ken
