The Quadro FX 5500 came with some extra power connectors which help
me notice a 'PowerConnectorCheck' issue within /var/dt/Xerrors.

So, if you have the X server not starting up correctly and you happen to have a 
Nvidia graphics board like the Quadro FX 5500 you need to put this in your 
xconf.info file as one of your Screen options:

Option "NoPowerConnectorCheck"

A simple reboot and everything worked. The Nvidia logo splash screen appeared 
while Xserver started up. Hurrah!

I noticed in SXCE b65 that it showed 'GNOME 2.16 for OpenSolaris' between my 
choice for CDE or GNOME - yet GNOME 2.18.1 loaded afterwards. Oh well....

Time for housecleaning and a bit of QA......
