We plugged a second monitor into our Solaris workstation and reboot and it still wasn’t recognized. Needed to do the following:

mkdir /etc/dt/config
cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/Xservers
cp /usr/dt/config/Xconfig /etc/dt/config/Xconfig

Change the last line in /etc/dt/config/Xservers to:

:0   Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/X -dev /dev/fb1 -dev /dev/fb2 +xinerama

Then, logout of root and at the welcome screen, click “Command Line Login” under Options. Login as root and run:

/etc/init.d/dtlogin stop
/etc/init.d/dtlogin start
exit

Then wait a while and eventually the graphical login will start again.
