Hi,
yes, got it running. xdm login, twm as window manager. Fast and
smart:)
As I started up with a text console only, Andreas and Carsten
on this list told me to do a pkg install mate_install and start
the SMF-service for lightdm. With a little nvidia driver update
all worked fine. Since I like fast minimalistik desktops that do
not consume the compute power for windows decorations, I did:
pkg install twm
pkg install xdm
copied th svc-lightdm method to svc-xdm, set it up for xdm, reseted
the xdm-fmri as was installed alongside by pkg install xdm, pointed
it to the freshly createt login-xdm. (guess I could have used the
default anyway, it just starts xdm so:)
After that I did a svc disable graphical-login/lightdm. That of
cause stopped my GUI-desktop at once and no text-console for what
ever reason. Logged into the box from remote, su-ed my shell to
root again and did a svcadm enable graphical-login/xdm. After a
while, xdm started, with a login I got twm running since I already
copied my common .xinit and .twmrc to my $HOME. Thats all. Really
no magic, worked somehow off the shelf, ist fast and as old fashioned
as I hoped for:)
All packages came form:
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
openindiana.org origin online F
http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/
running 5.11 illumos-6859ab0054 i86pc i386 i86pc
The box this runs on is a decommissioned Dell Optiplex 980 with an
Intel 4-cores i5, 16GB ram, some kind of mass-produced dell nvidia
with dual head support that the university dumped.

I'd be extremely interested if you get twm running on OI. I've stuck
with Solaris 10 u8 because I couldn't figure out a way to run twm
cleanly.

Hi,
thanks for the very fast reply
I did the mate_install and enabled the lightdm service.
looked nice but I got:
0 1 root@skyfall pts/1 ~ 4# svcs -vx lightdm
svc:/application/graphical-login/lightdm:default (Light Display Manager)
State: offline since Tue Feb 23 20:35:06 2021
Reason: Service svc:/system/consolekit:default was restarting too quickly.
See: http://illumos.org/msg/SMF-8000-GE
Path: svc:/application/graphical-login/lightdm:default
svc:/system/consolekit:default
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1 lightdm
Impact: This service is not running.
But a decent nvidia-driver did the trick, box is up and running
with a mate desktop. Were can I find the pkg-names of aggregartion
packages, assuming mate_install is on of those?
I will see for a faster desktop so, X11 with twm is what I am
running on FreeBSD-Boxes, CDE on AIX and so. I saw, there is
a cde available so I will go to installing that and give it a
try.
Tanks a lot,
Rolf
