  HI,

    Please note that you have the possibility to install the Developer Express 
   tools/package   with  every new  SXCE  release ,  with SXCE63  studio 12 was 
  shipped for the first time. 

    Just download  the SXCE 63  DVD  and select Developer Edition from the 
first 
    DVD  Grub menu.

   Your  Graphics problems  may just be the usual  problem with an Unkown  PCI 
device code.
    The /etc/driver_aliases  "database"  over  Available PCI  devices  will 
never be  100% 
    complete, as new devices are developed and marketed by hundreds  of OEM's 
every week.

   Run    /usr/X11/bin/scanpci

   Note down  the  vendor code   and the  Device code  for the graphics card.

(   here is my data for my Nvidia card :
    pci bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x10de device 0x0160
     nVidia Corporation GeForce 6500
) 
    The vendor code in the example above  is    "10de" 
    The device code in the example above  is    " 0160 "

This code must exist   in  /etc/driver_aliases   to enable Solaris to decide  
which driver to use. 

(  part of  my /etc/driver_aliases  file :

nvidia "pci10de,14e"
nvidia "pci10de,14f"
nvidia "pci10de,160"
nvidia "pci10de,161"      ) 


These  are the only i915  devices listed  in /etc/driver_aliases

i915 "pci8086,2562"
i915 "pci8086,2572"
i915 "pci8086,2582"
i915 "pci8086,2592"
i915 "pci8086,2772"
i915 "pci8086,3582"

    After  you have made it possible for Solaris  to recognise  your  graphics 
card  you must 
perform a reconfiguration  reboot  of the system.

    typically:

  #  touch  /reconfigure 
  #  sync
  # init 6
