Full Discussion: Solaris10(x86) display goes blank
Operating Systems Solaris Solaris10(x86) display goes blank Post 302899566 by hicksd8 on Wednesday 30th of April 2014 05:08:39 AM
Old 04-30-2014
I think we need more information and to ask some questions first.

1. Using this exact same hardware, if you throw on a different operating system (eg, Windows or Linux distro) does the GUI work?
2. What settings are there in your BIOS that affect the graphics display?
3. If you boot a Solaris x86 'live' DVD (there's certainly an excellent Solaris 11 (x86) version which will allow you to install from it afterwards) does the GUI work? It also allows you to select a VESA (generic) display driver.

Please post back your progress, or lack of.

Oh and what is the graphics adapter in the box? On board or add-on?
