I don't grok "Root login gave me enough time once."
If he's got an unsupported hardware issue, I missed that; it sounds like
he gets the X server and XDM up. My reading of his posts was that he's
telling us XDM isn't able to authenticate him but X seems to be working.
Perhaps we should have him boot into single user mode and see if he can
get in as root that way.
But by all means the device detection tool output will be valuable.

many years with old dos all the way to XP and Vista. If a login is
stopping me because things are so different with Solaris 10, I must be
an idiot. I actually thought that you typed your user name in the box,
and then your password in the password box. I agree, something is
wrong, maybe during the download something got corrupted, but there
was no indication in SDM of that. There is an outside chance that
something went sour during the iso burn, but again, there was not any
indication of that either. I am considering a drive format and a fresh
download, start from scratch. If I have to try tricks to log in, I'm
sure there will be more problems beyond that, and I care to deal with
any work arounds of a brand new install. The PC and hardware were not
an issue at any time during the install. Thanks for the suggestions, I
must find out what is wrong before I go any further.
Unfortunately, nVidia 256mb graphics doesn't tell me what video card
you are using, though it helps somewhat.
Unfortunately, the information you have provided is not yet enough to
determine the real issue.
However, this may provide us with more information that will help a lot:

Run the detection tool under Windows or Linux, then post the output of
it here or somewhere we can "get to it".
That will tell us what specific hardware you have, and hopefully help
shed some light on this issue.
