Xserver not running in Solaris x86
I have just installed Solaris 10 x86 version on a Compaq Evo desktop station with a Sun 19" SVGA monitor model # CM751U. The desktop has 256MB RAM. The video card is a nVidia Riva TNT2 64. If I do a scanpci command; it returns the card as a nVidia Corporation NV6 (Vanta/Vanta LT)

The Xserver fails to run. The OS boots fine; and brings me to a command prompt instead of loading the graphical login.

At this point; I have the device in the xorg.conf command setup as just a standard VGA device.

The results of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log are as follows:

(EE) VGA(0): Driver can't support depth 24
(II) UnloadMOdule: "vga"
(II) UnloadModule: "int10"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11/lib/modules/libint10.so
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

NAME

       update-desktop-database - Desktop file caching utility

SYNOPSIS

       update-desktop-database [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [filepath]

DESCRIPTION

       update-desktop-database creates cache files for desktop file MIME type mapping for improved MIME lookup performance.

       It  expects  to	be  given  the	path  to  a  directory	or  directories  containing a number of application installed .desktop files, e.g.
       /usr/share/applications, and writes a mime-info.cache containing cached information about the MIME types that each application can  handle.
       If  no directory is provided, this utility will use a default directory list as specified in the FreeDesktop MIME specification. This cache
       file is used to avoid a lot of system call and disk seek overhead in a number of applications.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -?, --help		       Show help options.

       -v, --verbose		       Turn on verbose output.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       filepath 	       The path to a directory or directories containing a number of application installed .desktop files.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Application exited successfully

       1	Application exited with failure

FILES
