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

       v4l - video4linux driver

SYNOPSIS

       Section "Module"
	 ...
	 Load "v4l"
       EndSection

DESCRIPTION

       v4l  is	an  Xorg  driver for video4linux cards.  It provides a Xvideo extension port for video overlay.  Just add the driver to the module
       list within the module section of your xorg.conf file if you want to use it.  There are no config options.

       Note that the extmod module is also required for the Xvideo support (and lots of other extensions too).

       The v4l driver works with every piece of hardware which is supported by a video4linux (kernel-) device driver and is able to  handle  video
       overlay.

       bt848/bt878-based TV cards are the most popular hardware these days.
