I sent a:
sudo svcadm enable lightdm

a reboot, and a look at the /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log indicated
keyboard input was taken. But as I can't see anything on screen
(the screen flashes indicating graphics mode/xorg started). I'm
afraid what I *really* need is to discover why nothing (the DE/
greeter) aren't written to the screen.
No hints of a problem in /var/Xorg.0.log. :-(

Sorry. I'll keep the conversation in IO-discuss.
