Solaris 10 does not start x

807557Oct 12 2005 — edited Oct 27 2005
Hello guys,

I've just installed my first Solaris 10 system in VMWare 5 Workstation. I was happy that I could run it without any problems, all worked fine and I started the Java GUI without any problems, too. The only thing, which wasn't that cool, was the screen resolution of 640*480, which could'nt be changed. I've googled alot and found a post in your forums here ( http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=21468&messageID=61932 )
I started the xorgconfig (/usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig) and tried to set the screen resolution to 1024 or something higher with 24bit colordepth. I restarted my system and there was the message "X could not be started" ... ok it was my fault, because I experimented in this file. So I've ran this file again to set it back to default options. I wanted to configure it myself with the default settings but then I saw "If you delete the xorg.config it will generate a new one, with default settings"
So I deleted the file... but I deleted xorgconfig AND xorg.conf(ig) ? and so I cant reconfigure now...
All I want is to get Solaris back to the GUI version .....

what to do?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english ;)

Timm
