Hmm, the 2008.11 Xorg.0.log file shows that it is using the VESA driver. Seems that the older OpenSolaris release has no support at all for the ATI RV610(?) / Radeon 3100 ? Maybe 2009.06 has changed so that the Xorg "ati" / "radeonhd" drivers are actually trying to use the hardware, but that fails? What happens when you boot the 2009.06 LiveCD and force the use of VESA video driver (second entry in the grub boot menu)?

There are vesa modes for 1400x1050, 1600x1200, 1856x1392, 1920x1440, but it seems they are ignored. Did you try to setup a custom xorg.conf file and force the use of the panel's native resolution? - pfexec svcadm disable -t gdm (shutdown X) - login on text console, pfexec bash, run /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure This should create an xorg config file template that you can use as a starting point for an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file; try to add modes for the panel's native resolution to the screen section. - test by running /usr/X11/bin/Xorg (control-alt-backspace gets you back to the text console) - when the resolution is ok, svcadm enable gdm and exit from the text console shell -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
