X clients running on Solaris terminate on the first keypress, e.g.:

X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  136 (XKEYBOARD)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  16 (XkbSetNamedIndicator)
  Serial number of failed request:  117
  Current serial number in output stream:  130

Workaround: upgrade X.Org on the Solaris machine fixes (sometimes)
Note: XIM-enabled clients also seem to fail, but for different reasons.

looks like it is relevant to this.

Should I add this to the queue for 1.6.1.901?

That patch has been merged to the X.Org 1.6 branch, so it will be in 1.6.2 when
that emerges.

------- Additional Comment #4 From Cygwin/X maintainer 2009-06-30 01:38 -------

Pushed in 1.6.1.902.  Leaving open for now to see if this fixes the problem.

Added a couple of patches to fix other issues seen interworking with Solaris

------- Additional Comment #8 From Cygwin/X maintainer 2009-07-13 19:05 -------

Thanks for the patches.  Should I release 1.6.2-2 immediately with these patches?

I'll probably have a few more bits and pieces this week so might be worth
waiting for those

Fine.  In the meantime, I've committed these to Ports SVN.

You might as well push out a built with these changes when you have time.  I'm
not very productive at the moment due to various problems after rebuilding my
development environment...

Shipped in 1.6.2-2; leaving open until fix is confirmed.
