Description
I was trying to install it on my HP341 with ATi Radeon HD6470M but I see login console. Unfortunately, I lost the error note I've taken.
I attached the Xorg.0.log.
Anything I can help, I will be glad to do it.

Because radeonhd driver bundled with OI does not support Radeon HD6xxx yet, Xorg tried to use generic VESA module and that failed to detect screen (probably HP or ATidid not . One possibility would be to find manual configuration for Xorg screen as workaround.
The proper fix is to build newer ati driver with support for Radeon HD6xxx but that requires KMS support in Illumos.
Generally ATi devices are less supported on OI than nVidia or Intel.

I created binary ATI Radeon 6.14.6 drivers for oi_151a. There was someone planning to work on kernel-side KMS support for Illumos but I think that work is pending GSoC initiatives or maybe considered 'out of scope'.
Rejected/closed due to current lack of Radeon KMS support in Illumos kernel. Reopen, if the work resumes in the future.

This work requires Radeon kernel KMS work by the Illumos team/developers. We already tested and built the drivers for Xorg video ATI Radeon 6.14.6 and 7.1.0 2D drivers using our updates on oi_151a7. After that, we discovered Xorg Xserver 1.12.2/1.12.3 can be used to support the remaining Xorg Intel/other 2D drivers. Good Luck!

Won't fix. This requires XNV update to Xserver 1.12.x. Without this major update and Radeon kernel DRI/DRM updates, we can't 'properly' support AMD/ATI Radeon 6000+ hardware at this time.
