Following my previous investigation, it seemed like Xorg was looking for modules in the wrong place. I therefore edited Xorg.conf and removed the entire Section Files. That fixed the problem of X not starting.
Then, I had a problem with .ICEauthority. Apparently, it used to be in /, but is now in /var/lib/gdm. The thing to do was:
pfexec usermod -d /var/lib/gdm gdm
which updates the home directory for the [ccigdm[/cci] user. The next problem seemed to be that the terminal settings were screwed up: doing an ls would put the newline at weird locations (sort of a stair-case outline of text). I think this is the problem: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=12380. So, I add
clone:ptmx 0666 root sys
to /etc/minor_perm.
After reboot: yup. That fixed the problem. Now, it’s time for VirtualBox.
