Yes, something like this which I got from another: "You should be able to do it with the LiveCD. You would need to choose the text console mode and then login at the console. Generate an xorg.conf file using Xorg -configure, mv it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf", edit xorg.conf to limit the frequenzies allowed and the do svcadm enable gdm. /Jonas
