I am running Oracle on Dell Unix SysVR4 Issue 2.2
Had a few problems that went away when I upgraded to 6.0.36.5.1 Beware the last SQL*Loader patch it broke SQL*Loader on my machine. Restored an older version from backup tape and everything was cool. Don't know if this problem is specific to Dell or more general.
Big problem was figuring out how to get a valid terminal description.
Neither Dell nor Oracle Tech Support was very. Ended up working around
the problem by picking the ansiu.r resource file and then learning some
of the mysteries of .Xdefaults to remap the keyboard to
make things fit. While I was looking
for a solution I found an incomplete Oracle utility utd. It is not all
there. Will probably be finished in a future release. It prompts you
with key names, then asks you to press a key. When you are done, it will
build the terminal description.
