sounds like wrong monitor settings... what monitor do you use and have you tried different video modes?

Hi.

by "desktop login" do you mean gdm login? . try to login in just the console(appropriate runlevel for your OS-hint ->append init=/bin/bash in your boot command line at the grub prompt). If it logs well in command line , then probably there is some problem with the xorg/desktop_environment. try re-installing the xorg/desktop env from scratch and configure xorg.conf using by
Code:
X -configure

to automatically read your settings and save in /etc/X11/xorg.conf(this is in Linux. not sure about solaris. Check the docs)

Regards,
Gaurav.
