Any idea how I would change the output screen of the X server on boot? After doing some more quick research, I get the feeling that I need to tell X to use :0.1 . I'm not real sure how to do that though... Maybe the following will at least let me get to the GUI login from the console: # export DISPLAY=:0.1 # pfexec svcadm restart gdm I'll try that tomorrow from the console and see what happens. That will tell me something I hope. I have tried restarting gdm before (earlier today), and the screen flashes a few times (3) over a few seconds. While this is happening, the console is not responsive. After the third flash, the console becomes active again, but no GUI. I'll try and generate a config file (Xorg -configure) and take a look at what is in there. Maybe that will give me a clue.
