It's a fully graphical desktop which BRLTTY cannot yet use. We're looking into
solving this problem by adding a bridge between BRLTTY and Gnopernicus (the
Gnome 2.0 screen reader). That, however, hasn't been done yet. In the mean
time, BRLTTY for Solaris works in conjunction with the screen program. A needed
patch to screen-3.9.11 is provided with the BRLTTY distribution.

The way to disable Solaris's graphical desktop is, as root, to do:
dtconfig -d
