Solaris 10 does not start X

807557Feb 7 2005 — edited Apr 25 2010
Seems like a lot of people are having the same problem as i have , that X is not launched when booting up machine.


I have tried to install Solaris 4 times now. With different package setups, all setups using all packages in the chosen group.

All 4 times the installation has been successful, no errors during installation. it finds my ATI mobility card, mounse and keyboard are correct setup.

During the install the X test is successful with movement in mouse and an visible testimage at 1400x1050 pixels.


Still, when booting after installation the X is not starting (CDE or gnome).
When looking inside /usr/X/bin, /usr/X11/bin there is only two identical files: X and Xserver. It seems like i am missing packages, Xorg and so on.

What to do?

Is this something similar some one else has seen. Do i do anything wrong during setup/install???


Everything else works as it should, Network, FTP and so on, but not X.


This is run on AMD64, so the 64 bit version of solaris is started.
