What X server (Xsun or Xorg) and graphic card driver are you using ?

Laptops are far better supported with Solaris Express.

Have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you are using Xorg (likely).

The command kdmconfig should show you what Xserver you are using - just look and see what box is checked and then just press ^C - and if you want to see the max resolution your screen can do I would suggest - /usr/X11/bin xvinfo | grep max - that should show you max resolution - and if you are using X11(I am pretty sure you would be) it is quite easy to force the resolution to what you want it to be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - or just run /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig or /usr/X11/bin/xorgcfg
