Starting X Server on Solaris 9

I just installed SOlaris 9 on an Ultra-II. I don't have a Sun monitor, and I would like to use my laptop (Win2K) to run an X session against my server.
I'm planning on using Exceed on the client. I don't believe that the X Server is started, can anyone tell me how to fire up the X Server, and what I'll need to do to connect via Exceed ?

Solaris' X entrance point is dtlogin, which starts by default, even if you don't have a graphical console hooked up. Look and see if you have /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin, or type "ps -ef | fgrep dtlogin". If so, just set up Exceed for XDMCP/full screen/single window and connect to your Solaris box. You should get the login screen.
