Startup error: The X-server can not be started on display :0...

Earlier today SPARCBOOK 5000 was working, but was asked to upgrade an application on it.

1. uninstalled application

2. loaded latest solaris 8 recommended cluster (downloaded it yesterday).

3. reboot machine after patch update

On reboot all looks OK upto the point it attempts to run X-server..

1st I see:

"Starting Desktop login Display: 0"

the screen then goes fuzzy (it looks like the screen res in incorrectly set)..then see

The X-server can not be started on display :0

Unable to login as root or any other account.

Restarted SPARCBOOK & got into boot. then tried to boot from CDROM..Get language prompt but keyboard now fails (same with external keyboard)!!..Both keyboard work while in boot (did stop-A to enter boot, during startup ....

Any ideas?
