Hi all, This is my first posting and attempt to get OpenSolaris working on my Dell R610. The R610 is a dual Nehalem server with 16 GB RAM, Matrox on-board video, 146GB SAS hard drive, and quad GbE ports.
The OpenSolaris 2009.06 LiveCD boots without issues, straight to the GUI. I ran the Device Driver check and there were no reported issues; all drivers (including video were installed). The screen resolution defaulted to 1280 x 1024, which is my displays resolution. I proceeded to install OpenSolaris on an entire hard drive. Installation was easy and quick. After installation, I rebooted the server, and OpenSolaris loaded. But, the GUI never appears. The display will flash 3-4 times, and ultimately settle on the console login prompt. I've tried a number of things, like: a) svcs -x (there is no output) b) pfexec svcadm clean gdm (got a message that :gdm:default is not in a maintenance or degraded state) c) svcadm enable gdm (there is no output) d) /usr/bin/X11/X -configure (after a few seconds I got a blank gray screen with an X mouse pointer and the system hangs indefinitely) At this point I thought I would post here my Xorg.0.log file but I cannot manage to get an SSH session to the OpenSolaris server. Putty (my ssh client) reports "Couldn't agree a client-to-server cipher". Any help would be appreciated!
