Operating Systems Solaris X server startup on Solaris 9 Post 302135111 by deaconf19 on Thursday 6th of September 2007 02:28:54 AM

2 things. I have had this happen a lot to me. usually the graphics card is not detected or the keyboard and mouse is causing the problem.
first trying switch both keyboard and mouse with a good working one if possible
If that does not work do the following
once it prompts that xserver can not be started login with your user name and pass. then run the following
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag -v

look for your graphics card in there that looks like this

PCI 66 PCI4 SUNW-XVR-100 (display)
okay

you want to make sure that it reads okay in there and not failed. if you do not see a video card in there then you need to check your drivers and some other items like the seeding of the card

come and post what you find and we will go from there
