When running Solaris on a laptop, be sure that the numlock key is off...otherwise you cannot log on. I have also noticed in the past that the caplocks can be turned on w/o you knowing when creating root password...turn your caplock key on and try logging in. The video card, is it on the HCL for Solaris Intel ...there are many patches from sun that must be applied to recognize many standard display Adapters. Hope this helps.
