I had a working Solaris nv_44 installation on my new server (except
for many hundred dollars of hot-swap hardware apparently not working
with Solaris yet, grump), with X (sun server) working with the mouse,
keyboard, and monitor.

I have now moved that physical system downstairs (first tests were on
the dining room table); so it's plugged into a different keyboard and
mouse and monitor (same size and very similar specs though), and the
keyboard and mouse are connected through a KVM down here.

And the X logon screen fails to come up, and when I boot in single
user mode and run kdmconfig it segfaults.  If I unconfigure with
kdmconfig -u, that completes without error, but a new kdmconfig
segfaults.  I imagine I can now boot the system without the X logon
screen trying to come up, though I haven't tried yet.  I made sure the
KVM switch was set to this server at boot, so it would see the mouse
from the beginning.

I suppose I could try reinstalling from scratch with the network
connected and this mouse and keyboard config, but I really ought to be
able to change this sort of thing later; I might buy a new mouse any
day!

Also "ifconfig nge0" shows flags up,broadcast, running, and some
others, and the right IP, mask, and broadcast address, but pinging a
neighbor or the gateway router shows 100% packet loss.  It doesn't
show any packet counts, so I'm wondering if the interface is *really*
up.  What other network config tools are there?
