[OpenIndiana-discuss] [SOLVED] Re[2]: Selecting wrong video driver

[Rainer Heilke]

Thank you, everyone. X does indeed work.
I now have to figure out why the lightdm service doesn't start at 
boot-up, but I can start it manually as root, then log in as myself. And 
the fix?
After making sure *everything* installed properly, including the i915 
driver for the graphics card (found using a Live USB stick run of 
Ubuntu), I had to delete the two X config files the install dropped into 
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. That's it. Delete the ones I put in 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d to try to get things working, delete the two 
example files the install put into /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d (which is 
probably why the Live DVD failed), and make sure *everything* is 
properly installed, because the Live DVD failed to boot into X and 
therefor didn't install half of the X software.
Thank you all again for the help.
Rainer
