If this is once the X server starts, you should be able to kill it with
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (assuming you chose Xorg).   Do that 5 times or so and
dtlogin should finally give up on starting it and return you to console.

To make Xorg actually display on the laptop screen, you'll need to tell it
to use the builtin screen - for some reason it's probe sees the VGA & DVI
ports, but not the builtin screen.   You can fix this in your xorg.conf with

  Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,CRT"

in the Device section.   (See the xorg.conf sample Casper posted a couple 
weeks ago at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/message/29174 )
