[SunHELP] xdm start fails

[Adrian Florea]

after this first look, it seems you don't have a graphic card...
perhaps you're logged in via serial connection / remote login

However these machines are usualy rack mounted (they're quite thin) and 
have no graphic cards...

try to put a graphic card in it ... and then install required drivers

regards,
adrian.
