Or use a script like:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

(
trap '' USR1
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0
) &
wait
Generating an ad-hoc X configuration with
xorgconfig can be useful if the server fails to attach.

Could X11 forwarding over
ssh represent a viable alternative?

That's because 11.4 only provides text installers (almost completely ditching anything related to desktop), but this didn't use to be the case up to 11.3, much less with SunOS 5.10.
