The modeline can be creating using gtf

# /usr/X11/bin/gtf 1680 1050 60

Oh, and there’s a way to get all the different values for the modeline, and I can’t remember what they are, but google will tell you

So I’m reading about your Xorg resolutions question, and while I’m not using opensolaris (trying to install it in VMware myself atm), I have a linux install that uses a 1680×1050 native resolution for my screen. I had to tinker with it quite a bit myself. I think what you really need to do is create a modeline in the Xorg.conf file, as I did. Mine looks like this:

Modeline “1680×1050″ 146.0 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089

and it’s inserted under the VertRefresh in your Monitor section.
See if that gives you any luck.

Thank you for posting this. Extremely helpful.

I’m new to OpenSolaris and can’t seem to find a straight answer so I’m asking here: what do you do after installing the nic driver(s)?

ifconfig -a only has lo0. How would I load the driver or bring up the interface?

Thanks.
