I am trying to launch the CDE from the console and have tried the running the command : svcadm enable cde-login

but still get the same error. After some investigation i have found some advice regarding the font path and fonts.dir but its well confusing !!!
Can someone explain to me an easy way to display the cde?

I have looked in /var/dt/Xerrors and the output is:

I have tried running kdmconfig and am worried about running a sysunconfig as this could unconfigure my server it Solaris 10 on x86!
