on solaris 8 you can start the graphical login with "/etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin start" but if not modified, this should happen by default!

If I install a graphic card how do I start o restart the process o Xserver on Solaris 8?

With this command is correct?
Code:
 /usr/dt/bin/Xsession -display <workstation IP>:0 &

The Xcliente could be restarted with this command?

Code:
 /etc/init.d/dtlogin [stop|start]

please read all input! you don't need a graphic card and you don't need additional software if you installed solaris with the right softwarecluster. without the graphical part of the os you need to install the missing packages OR use additional software.
and you need a XDMCP client for graphical login via network... or another proper client if you use 3rd party software (vnc...).
