Another thing occurred to me, perhaps you have a xorg.conf file present
which prevents Xorg to autodetect hardware. If you have one, you could
try to remove it and see if it helps. I'm not sure now where it is
located in Solaris, it could be in /etc/X11/ but it could be elsweyr.
I'm not able to check it right now.

Hi,
normally Xorg should detect all graphics hardware and automatically
assign proper drivers to the hardware. If it cannot find the proper
driver it usually resorts to the vgatext or vesa driver.
I don't know why your system doesn't assign the matrox driver (or
whatever name the Solaris driver for Matrox hardware has) is used for
your card; if Xorg fails to identofy the proper driver, if it is
incompatible with your hardware or if the driver is not installed at
all in your system.
You could also try to manually build your own xorg.conf file and add
something along the lines of:
----------
Section "Device"
Identifier "Builtin Default Matrox Device 0"
Driver "matrox"
EndSection
----------
I think you should also have a Monitor section, a Screen section and a
ServerLayout section ...

Hi,
my supermicro has Matrox card, but the system shows a vgatext driver
and desktop enhancements
are not working (white screen).
How can I activate the Matrox driver?
Thanx
Gabriele.
