OpenSolaris10 GUI fails

Post by cptjacksparrow »

Hi, I've just installed OpenSolaris10 guest machine on my laptop and it installation went through fine ... when the machine re-booted and I started the guest machine again the GUI is failing to load ... I've tried installing both VESA and non-VESA and I am not sure why it is not able the load, I've also tried logging with both root and non-root account

Here is the error which I am getting ..

XIO: fatal IO error 146 (Connection refused ) on X server ":0.0"

Please let me know if there is something which I am missing in my setup.

I don't know if this is any help but I read somewhere that part of the problem is OpenSolaris is not recognizing the video card. Now I don't know if that is a problem with OpenSolaris itself or having it run via VirtualBox. All I know is all I can get is the console - no GUI.

One would think that two applications from the same company would work together seamlessly!! Nudge nudge :wink:
