Reported Software/Hardware Incompatibilities
Authored by: EatingPie on Aug 16, '02 06:37:11PM

Hey all.

I've certainly heard time and again that Jaguar is a major update, despite the minor change in revision number (and I quote: "Why didn't they call it 10.5?") With that in mind, much of the above list strikes me as obvious... Hacks, Device Drivers, Hardware...

So I'm not too surprised. And in reading ThinkSecret's article,
it looks like a lotta stuff still works, just not 100 percent.

Eudora bombs when going to the address book. Acrobat Reader gags the first time you open a large file, but works the second time you open it. XFree86 itself isn't broken, just the xterm application (and a simple recompile looks like all that's needed here).

And you can bet developers are kicking butt to get this stuff going before Jaguar hits the shelves... or soon after.

As a FruitMenu user, I jammed over to Unsanity's site, and they state as much directly on their site. They've even already got a little app to fix their Menu Extras (and possibly, all 3rd party menu extras!) for Jaguar. Very cool!!

So I'm personally not too worried on the 10.2 upgrade. And I say this as someone who <i>never</i> went to 10.1.5 because of the sleep/network issue.
But I will certainly backup before I upgrade. (I may not be worried, but I'm also not stupid!!!)
