    So neither 6000 or anything 600* pops up when I run this command.

    There isn't a directory of /usr/X11

    So I am assuming there are some packages that I am missing? I
    basically followed the instructions to get gnome working (which also
    doesn't start on this machine)

    But I am also running this on OmniOS stable 151006. Do I need bloody
    to get this to run? If so, can I just switch repositories and update
    the packages, and keep my old stable version in a BE? Thanks!
