Like all versions of Xorg since it was created, if /etc/X11/xorg.conf
doesn't exist, Xorg probes the hardware and generates what it believes
are reasonable default settings.    You can see the default xorg.conf
it uses in the beginning of /var/log/Xorg.0.log or drop down to a
console mode login (svcadm disable gdm or choose "Command line login"
from the dtlogin options menu, depending on which you use), login as
root, and then run:
        /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure

to generate a default xorg.conf you can move to /etc/X11 and edit.

The big difference between Solaris and most Linux/BSD distros here is
that we default to trusting Xorg autoconfiguration and don't provide
our own /etc/X11/xorg.conf - mostly because we switched to Xorg after
autoconfiguration was working, where existing Linux & BSD's had to
provide config files for XFree86 releases before XFree86 added the
autoconfiguration support, and haven't changed their installation
processes to drop that.
