Bill:
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...
GDM does have configuration files in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf and
/etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf.
Here is an example I notice on how you can configure GDM to start up
a display using :0.1. This example uses Xephyr, but the principle
is the same, I'd think:

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.
You might try editing /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf and set Enable=true
in the [debug] section and restart GDM. This should cause debug
messages from GDM to get echoed to your syslog (/var/adm/messages).
These debug messages might help to debug the problem if it is an issue
with GDM.
