Oracle Solaris 11.4 on VMware ESXi keyboard and mouse not working

islammanjurulOct 17 2018

I have installed the Solaris 11.4 on my VMware infrastructure, ESXi version 6.5u2, VM is a Oracle Solaris 64 bit VM settings.

The installation is a good success, just found that there is no desktop after installation. So I installed the desktop from the terminal by issuing

pkg install solaris-desktop

and it went well, only had some issue with the domain name, it was looking for a dns name probably. so I ignored it.

Then executed the command startx, and the the desktop appeared, however nothing works, no keyboard, no mouse movement.

then I followed this guide https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36797/glxix.html

although this guide is for sparc, I have edited the file on my x86 based VM, but nothing works. Can anyone help to make them work?
