If you have the screen program installed, it may be of use.  Start up a
terminal in X, run screen.  You will get a new shell.  Do your stuff.  After
x server crashes, log back in, start a terminal, run 'screen -r'.  This will
(r)estore the screen, and you can see what happened.  I don't know if
solaris ships with screen, but screen compiles on just about anything, so
installing it shouldn't be hard.  It does need to be installed as root
(needs some suid bits) to work, tho.
