In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Multiple monitor support, Rick C....:
I need some more major X help. Can someone email me privately? Or
recommend a place to get that help?
Rick-
The most likely place to look for the answer to "what happened" is in
the X log file, which is almost certainly going to be /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Probably the thing to do is put your X log file from the failed startup
somewhere where it's reachable as a URL, so that people can download it
and take a look. Something like "pastebin", if you don't have a personal
web site where you could upload it.
You may also want to put up the X log file from your *successful* X
succession under a different file name. That way, people have something
to compare to, specific to your hardware.
Comparing the good, working log with the failed log may point out where
things went off the rails.

I was able to reboot into the other boot menu option (not openindiana-1,
but something about development) and get it to work. But, I'm back in my
old configuration now before the update.
How can I copy over the X settings from this boot menu configuration to
the openindiana-1 menu configuration?

I then went to reboot, but X isn't coming back up. The OpenIndiana red

goes across repeatedly. When I finally press a key (numlock) it goes
to a

I tried svcadm enable gdm but no go. So what'd I do wrong? :-)
Possibly a misconfiguration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that might
be indicated in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I have been unable to get X to start back up in a usable form. It seems
to startup, but I can't see anything except a black screen. I tried
renaming the /root/xorg.conf.new file it created to be rick.rick.new so it
wouldn't load, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
I can boot into OpenIndiana right now, but all I get is a text-based
console window. X seems to be broken, but I don't know how to undo
whatever the "Xorg :0 -configure" command did, because renaming the
xorg.conf.new to rick.rick.new didn't do it.
Any thoughts?
Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin
