Andrew WatkinsFeb 22 2019 — edited Mar 1 2019

Hi,

I had it working in Solaris 11.3 but no luck with with Solaris 11.4 and Gnome 3.

Steps as documented: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37838_01/html/E67470/scard-xdesktop.html#OSAUTscard-confremotedesk 

# pkg install solaris-desktop
Set Enable to true in the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file
[xdmcp] 
Enable=true
# svcadm restart gdm
# svcadm enable xvnc-inetd
# svcadm clear gdm
# svcs -Lv gdm

1) How to get over the "Cannot open /dev/fb"?

2) Tried creating xorg.conf but that did not help?

Any ideas.

Thanks
