  I have just finished trying SR10.3 on my systems ... 
  It doesn't work on a DN560 -- the multi-focus stuff for X seems to have
  completely broken the DM.

This seems to be true on most machines.  After struggling with multi-focus
on my dn3500 for a day, I finally had to turn it off (you can do this by
changing "S+r+" to "s+r+" in /etc/rc).  Besides the annoying mouse
droppings, the cursor simply gets lost too often.

  It doesn't work on diskless DN330's as well. The calendar program doesn't seem
  to be able to reset the time and date, and the system won't boot because the
  date always seems to go back to sometime in the year 2015, and the UID generator
  can't produce correct object UID's with a date that far into the future.

I would try using the sr10.2 offline calendar program.  If the problem is in
setting the time this should fix it.  If the problem is that sr10.3 can't
read the hardware clock correctly, it won't.

Today's tip:  Create the file /usr/X11/lib/XKeysymDB so you can use the gray
keys from X.  Put the following into it:
