Have you configured X server? Note that X-config is suppose to work but personaly I have never seen it working on Sparc64. You have to start with xorg.conf file wich comes wih Xenocara and manually edit with your hardware spec. Should not take more than 5 minutes and 3d acceleration should work IIRC.

To configure X11 on Sparc64, see /usr/X11R6/README. Get it working with the built-in fvwm(1) or cwm(1) before installing a third party window manager. FAQ 11 can help.

Some of the popular window mangers require hardware acceleration. If I recall correctly, Gnome 3 now requires 3D hardware acceleration.

Exactly what happens? Are there any errors messages in the log files?

For a good look, nothing beats booting into a terminal and using startx.
