I assume that you are talking about X on an X86 platform. Two Xservers are shipped with X86 Solaris, i.e. Xsun and Xorg (the default). You can use kdmconfig to choice between the two servers and perform configuration.

You can also configure the Xorg server by creating an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file using
Code:
/usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure

or
Code:
/usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig

Either creates a new configuration file which then needs to be moved to /etc/X1/xorg.conf.

/etc/init.d/dtlogin start should start X for you. If you run into a problem starting X, check the X log which is at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
