Running with no xorg.conf is fine, but you need to make sure dbus and
hal are started at boot. Follow the handbook for best results.

I'm sure I started them as this doc is exactly what I followed...... I
think if I recall correctly or at least something like it?? Anyway as
explained I will use Vbox to check 100% and then at least have proper
logs and cli output to compare to and give everyone an idea of what's
going on unlike now!
If you're concerned about system resources, at least from a minimalist
perspective, then ZFS is not for you. Solaris can't help you with
that either, ZFS is hungry. ZFS is also not "standard", but
considered production ready. UFS is still the standard, and the only
filesystem supported by the installer without resorting to tricks.
Yes ZFS is hungry :-)
I run Solaris 10 on an ancient Sun Netra T105 server with 360MB of RAM
which uses ZFS file system and apart being a reverse proxy it won't
handle anything else easily. Also my E420r server with 1GB of RAM
running Sun Ray software is limited to just that and can only handle 1
Ray unit on top of the SXCE (Solaris Express Community Edition) OS.
I know how strong UFS v.1 is as I use it with Solaris 9, but how about
UFS v.2 which is what FreeBSD runs?? When compared with ext3 from a
performance/reliability perspective which one comes on top?
Also if something goes wrong with the filesystem what are the tools to
check the drive and repair errors as in Linux I use e2fsck followed by
device ID. As mention UFS v.1 is incredibly strong especially when run
on SCSI II drives that the Sun Netra T105 uses so I haven't had an FS
failure yet and if UFS v.2 is similar I don't suspect having a failure
either although this machine will have IDE drives and uses x86
architecture as opposed to SPARC.
In fact I am only really after ZFS for its self healing properties as I
don't mind going with any file system as long as it's stable. Ext3
although easily repairable is quite unstable on my systems anyway!
All the other services work well on FreeBSD.
