Did you *install* X-Windows? If you didn't do the full install of Solaris you may not even HAVE X-Windows! If you didn't install X-Windows, you now have the choice of reinstalling Solaris or finding and installing ALL of the packages required by X-windows. I don't know, off hand, which is the greater PITA! The "Advanced Installation Guide" has a listing of the packages that must be installed for X-Windows.
If you did NOT install X-Windows, you are about to find out why I recommend doing the FULL install of Solaris. X-Windows is about 25 packages PLUS any dependencies these packages may have.
ISTR that the configuration differs between the X86 and SPARC architectures. Whichever you have, you will need to know the capabilities of both your graphics card and your monitor. At the very minimum you need to know the graphics resolutions supported by BOTH your graphics card AND your monitor.
DISPLAY is an environment variable. How you set it depends on which shell you are using! What you set it to depends on what system is acting as your X-server. Note that in X terminology, the server is the system that drives the monitor you want your X display on. This can be the monitor in front of you or one installed on an X capable system on your network. To display on your local monitor DISPLAY will have the value 0:0, meaning local system display number 0. If your system has two graphics boards and two monitors the value could be 0:1 to display on the second monitor. Received on Sun Apr 19 2009 - 16:39:16 CDT
