NOTE 2: The patch doesn't seem to want to apply cleanly, but since it's only one line that needs to be changed it's not a headache to make the change manually.Ģ. NOTE: There is also a Patch for compilation problem with kernel versions > 2.6.37 Download the source for the driver from: NOTE: I would strongly suggest keeping the source directory after you have finished the steps below because you will need to recompile and re-install the module every time the kernel is updated.ġ.

This is mainly so I remember exactly how to do it since it is a headache :) Most of this information comes from which has a different procedure that didn't work for me. Once you've got the X working you can then leisurely install any and all remaining packages using the graphical installer. You will need to install practically everything remotely related to X including the themes and the display drivers (why does an over the wire automated installer NOT do this for me?) before you can get X working. The solution to getting X working on Solaris is making sure your network connection works (at least the automated installer got the config files right - mostly) and using pkg list -a. My first thought was to download the repo images on the download page and the missing binaries would be on there.
The automated installer not only blew away all my partitions, but, I discovered painfully, is missing more than half the packages needed to get X running (note to Oracle: I hate you). So I decided to try to use Oracle Solaris 11 11/11 Automated Installer. It would install everything fine, but once rebooted grub would complain about a missing kernel (which has a Xen label buried in it). The biggest problem that I encountered is that I simply could not upgrade using the package upgrade utility. This is just a posting about the snags I encountered while upgrading from Solaris 11 Express to Solaris 11 11/11.
