try running prngd, if u don't have it installed, you can get it from
sunfreeware.com and to install it, just type pkgadd -d and the package name of
prngd. 

once it is finished adding the package, make sure the following directory exists
/var/spool/prngd.

then run the following command

 /usr/local/bin/prngd /var/spool/prngd/pool

Prngd should work after that and if it starts fine, you won't see anything on the
screen.
