I was told I should post this in here, Here is the original post: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=108864&tstart=0 <http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=108864&tstart=0> ------------------------------------------ I have an SBC that I am trying to use for a file server. The system is using integrated Intel X3100 Graphics. However when I boot to the LiveCD the xserver fails to start (I just get a blank screen). Same with the vesa option. If I boot into text mode everything seems fine but if I startx I get:

I have tried both the intel and vesa drivers. How the heck do i go about fixing this? Thank you. ------------------------------------- When I try the intel driver instead of neatly failing I just get a blank screen that I cant escape from. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace just seems to restart X back into the blank screen and I cant get into another session (ctrl-alt-f1,f2,f3,etc..) i forgot to mention that this is how it usually happens, vary rarely can I get it to give me an error. I can still ssh to the box though. I attached the /var/log/Xorg.0.log as Xorg.intel.txt For the vesa driver: I did the whole /usr/bin/X11/Xorg -configure then when in and manually changed /jack/xorg.conf.new to use the vesa driver then I: /usr/X11/bin/xinit /usr/bin/dbus-launch gnome-session -- /usr/X11/bin/Xorg ?config /jack/xorg.conf.new :0 and that at least caused X to Fails elegantly and give me a proper error, Attached is the new Xorg.0.log as Xorg.vesa.txt andrewk7 posted: > I don't know why the Intel driver is failing, but the > VESA driver is failing because it seems unable to > find modes that the hardware is capable of > displaying.

I made the recommended changes and was a blank screen again. Ive attached the new log as Xorg.modes.txt I have tried a different monitor, just to eliminate possibility's and got same results, when X runs I get a nice "NO SIGNAL" Can you X experts help me? -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
