All you have to do is create an xorg.conf in /etc/X11 and specify the "vesa" 
video driver, 

"
Use the vesa driver to install the OpenSolaris 2008.05 release onto your system.

Use the following procedure for the vesa driver:

>From the GRUB menu, select the Text Console option.

Login with user name, jack, and the password, jack.

Execute the following commands 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pfexec 
Xorg -configure
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sed '/Driver.*"intel"/s/"intel"/"vesa"/' xorg.conf.new > 
xorg.conf

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pfexec mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ svcadm enable gdm

Install the release, per instructions at Installing OpenSolaris 2008.05 .

After the system reboots, the desktop is displayed using the vesa driver."
