When you say you installed the express version of Solaris 10 I strongly suspect you mean you installed Solaris Express for the Nevada release. What does unname -a list ? If it says 5.11 then it is the Nevada project bits - ie the follow on from Solaris 10. If says 5.10 and anything with s10_?? in it then you don't have the final release builds and should upgrade.

If you do have bits that say 5.11 what is the number in the snv_?? bit ? There were a couple of builds with a bug that mean't that the GNOME resolution change didn't work. You can use /usr/X11/bin/xrandr or upgrade to a later Solaris Express build (take snv_27) as the bug has been fixed.
