I have tried using various configurations ranging from the system's automatic setup (i.e. no xorg.conf) to using various custom made xorg.conf files where I tried enforcing different drivers such as the VESA driver and different screen resolutions. None of these attempts has managed to produce an image signal in Xorg to any kind of monitor.

I'm using an XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB version for GPU.

The monitor I'm using is connected to the HDMI port of the graphics adapter and it works fine. When booting into Windows 7 I get a full 1080p screen resolution in 32bpp and I even get sound. I have tried booting the system up with an older analog VGA monitor but the screen is still black on it.

do you have a custom Xorg configuration?

what model Radeon are you using?

Is your monitor connected via the HDMI interface? when you tried
another monitor, did you connect it on the VGA/other interface(s)
before the computer booted?

But there is nothing wrong with the monitor or the connection. I get the
BIOS post and I get the GRUB but as soon as Xorg initiates it goes black.
Xorg works not fine in build 134 (it yields a picture but not at the
resolution I want due to some limitations in the drivers) but it works and
has never shown any such symptoms. I have tried connecting another monitor
to the other outputs using a DVI->VGA adapter but there is no signal in any
of the outputs.

do you have another monitor that you can try? a CRT might be a good
bet, if you can get one, and see if it's just sending out the wrong
refresh ...

If that is it you might need to manually set a modeline for your usual
monitor.

I just installed OpenIndiana build 148 which was an update from
OpenSolaris
build 134. All core components seem to work fine but as soon as Xorg
starts
the screen turns black and there is no image signal in any of the GPUs
outputs. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue as this prevents me
from
using and testing OI would be much appreciated. I supply the Xorg log in
case that would give any clue as to what might be wrong.
