Have you checked that your hardware is on the supported hardware list? If
not, then you may want to replace the solaris X server with the XFree86 one
which supports more hardware.
I haven't done this recently, so searching the web will find you better
help than I can give, but it can be done.

PS alt.solaris.x86 or comp.unix.solaris may also be good places to ask a
question this specific, but since I don't read either of them I haven't
added them to the x-post.
