Solaris Management Console not getting started in Solaris 10
Hi folks,
I am new to Solaris and installed Solaris 10 on IBM ThinkCenter successfully. But after booting in text mode, I typed smc and it gives error related to DISPLAY.
Then I tried with the command kdmconfig and I could choose Xsun. In the Video device list, it was showing XF86-VESA Intel Corp. Unknown board.I saved the settings and pressed F2 for testing. I could see the display; but unable to get in to GUI mode.
Can you help me please?

Try search the WEB for your display adapter drivers. However, most of new especially intergated graphics are still not supported.
You may try to get it working with xsun, run kdmconfig and specify as display adapter VGA or Super VGA. I know that in some cases it helps.
As well do the same with Xorg and run /usr/X11/bin/xorgcfg, try to find somekind of generic VGA in drivers that are listed there.
As I know, smc runs only in graphical mode.

Did you see buttons on that display (something like "yes", "no")?
xsun is very hard to set with most of display adapters and monitors, sometimes it shows only part of the screen, so you might not to see these buttons. However if you see them, press "yes" (or something like that, I dont exactly remember). Then reboot and your computer should start the GUI.
