OpenSolaris can be downloaded from www.genunix.org . You should try the latest test build of OpenSolaris 2008.11 . It is a "live CD" that you can run on your system without installing it to your hard disk. At present, you need to write the OpenSolaris 2008.11 ISO image to a DVD as it is too big for a CD.
Which version of Solaris Express did you use? The latest is build 99. To discover which graphics chip you have, can you type the following command into a terminal window: /usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v then post the output here? Thanks Andrew. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
