Solaris 10 on Virtual PC X-server configuration

807559Feb 1 2005 — edited May 13 2005
I have previously installed Solaris 10 b69 and b72 on Microsoft Virtual PC. In those builds I used the Xsun server and kdmconfig to set the following configuration that has been working well:
Video device: XF86-VESA VESA compatible video cards
Resolution: 1600x1200 - 65536 colors
screen: 17 inch
monitor: multifrequency 64KHz (up to 1600x1200 interlaced)

Today I installed the 3/05 release and the above configuration does not work. Testing it in kdmconfig results in errors like:
InitOutput: AddScreen failed for SUNWxf86.vesa
/var/log/Xsun.0.log shows:
(WW) No supplemental Xorg Configuration file exists, use Solaris OWconfig file
...
(EE) VESA(0): V_BIOS address 0x36320 out of range
(EE) PreInit done
(EE) Screen(s) found but none have a usable configuration

Now kdmconfig lets me set XF86-VGA 1024x768 - 256 colors. But that is too limiting in size and resolution.

How can I get the b72 configuration to work in the 3/05 release?
