Only got a reply from one guru, but Dan put me on the right track.
The solution was to connect the monitor with both the DSUB and DVI
cables to the XVR-100 video card and to edit the line that starts the Xsun
process in the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file. With the absence of this file,
it was necessary to copy the /usr/dt/config/Xservers file to the /etc path
and edit as follows:
Change
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner
to
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun -dev /dev/fbs/pfb0b
Now when the machine is booting, I get the console through the analog
cable and when CDE starts, the monitor senses the digital input and
switches automatically.
Thanks, Dan.

--Original post:
I have a SunBlade 2000 running Solaris 8. I recently acquired a 20" flat
panel ViewSonic monitor which has both analog(DSUB) and digital(DVI)
inputs. When the monitor is connected using the analog cable to the
DSUB connector on my XVR-100 card, I have full console and CDE use,
but when I connect with the digital cable to the DVI connector I get
nothing at all. Now from everything I've read, I should not expect to see
console data. My question and concern is why the Xserver (CDE) is not
starting at the appropriate time during the boot. Perhaps somebody can
point me to the correct way to do this, if indeed it can be done. There is
a setting on the monitor which I changed but this did not help and the
installation manual for the video card hasn't been any help either.
