root at jadlaptop:/etc# svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server listprop | grep exec
start/exec                                                     astring
 "/lib/svc/method/x11-server -d 0 -c %i %m"
stop/exec                                                      astring
 ":kill -TERM"

I'm not sure what I changed in svccfg ... I didn't change any .conf
file to get XDCMP working (grep of files in etc shows no XDCMP)
