+    <p>Very brief topic. Explain what "Solaris mode" in the preferences dialog
+ means. The current manual has some information.</p>
+  </comment>
+
+  <p>In a system that has multiple CPUs or <link xref="cpu-multicore">cores</link>,
+ processes can use more than one at the same time. It is possible for the
+ <gui>% CPU</gui> column to display values that total greater than 100% (i.e.
+ 400% in a 4-CPU system). <gui>Solaris mode</gui> divides the <gui>% CPU</gui>
+ for each process by the number of CPUs in the system so that the total will be
+ 100%.</p>
+
+  <p>To display the <gui>% CPU</gui> in <gui>Solaris mode</gui>:</p>
+
+  <steps>
+    <item><p>Click <gui>Preferences</gui> in the app menu.</p></item>
+    <item><p>Click the <gui>Processes</gui> tab.</p></item>
+    <item><p>Select <gui>Divide CPU Usage by CPU Count</gui>.</p></item>
+  </steps>
+
+    <note><p>The term <gui>Solaris mode</gui> derives from Sun's UNIX, compared
+ to the Linux default of IRIX mode, named for SGI's UNIX.</p></note>
