That looks a lot like 6914386
"X freeze (and reboot) a build 130 system"
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6914386

Which got a "commit to fix" for b134.


I've just installed b132 on a Tecra A10, like this:

- boot and install b132 using the vesa install option 
  unfortunately there was a new problem with vesa,
  compiz and a white screen (defect 14387,
  http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=14387 )
  but with metacity instead of compiz the gui installer
  worked ok

- boot b132 from hdd into single user mode

- disable the broken chipset flush code in the agptarget driver,
  using the following patch:

  echo "intel_chipset_flush_setup?w c3" | mdb -w /kernel/drv/agptarget
  echo "intel_chipset_flush_setup?w c3" | mdb -w /kernel/drv/amd64/agptarget

  halt

  (My Tecra A10 seems to work just fine with the chipset flush code
  disabled; YMMV)

- reboot into b132

- remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
  (it forces the use of the vesa driver, after the vesa install)
  and logout from Xorg

- Xorg should no be using the intel video driver


A similar patch should work when you upgrade to b132 using
the dev pkg.  After the upgrade,  mount the new b132 BE and
apply the above  patch to the b132 kernel/drv/agptarget and
kernel/drv/amd64/agptarget binary.
