I use Hipster on laptop wint Intel graphics (945GM, Dell Latitude D620 C2D)
and on reboot I need to go to virtual terminal (vt) console 
(Ctrl+Alt+F2, F3.. etc)
and set resolution with '915resolution' (pfexec 915resolution 3c 1440 900)
and then disable/enable gdm so it starts X in regular X resolution:
pfexec svcadm disable gdm  , pfexec svcadm enable gdm .

So one would need to set up VT for illumos that is not enabled by 
default (currently in Hipster, switching VT's while X is working kills X 
etc)
and make 915resolution compiled and working on it's machine,
to get intel graphics working in OI Hipster in full resolution.
(And yes, pfexec is working if your Administrator account is set to 
Primary Administrator and/or root role in /etc/user_attr because sudo is 
default... because for some reason sudo is default and pfexec is not for 
Administrative account..)

Setting Virtual terminals:
|pfexec svcadm enable -r vtdaemon vt2 vt3 vt4 vt5 vt6 console-login|
