Do you have any other lightdm-related packages installed?  It's likely
not important for this issue, but I'm just trying to determine how closely
your config matches mine.

Try enabling that service and rebooting:

        $ svcs -a | egrep -i light
        online         Oct_28
        svc:/application/graphical-login/lightdm:default
I sent a:
sudo svcadm enable lightdm

a reboot, and a look at the /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log indicated
keyboard input was taken.

Ok.  If you do something like

        ps -ef | egrep -i lightdm

what all shows up as running?  Again, I'm just trying to determine how
closely your system matches mine.

Are there other log files created in /var/log/lightdm ?  For example,
x-0.log or seat0-greeter.log ?
x-0.log log complains that xkbcomp reports Multiple names for keycode 155
and other related warnings. I had (USB) keyboard/mouse dongle inserted in
an effort to see if my primary kbd/mouse was a problem. Rather than
commenting on the messages currently in the x-0.log. I'm going to unplug
the dongle, make another go of it. Then report my findings.

Thank you very much for all your time, and effort!

But as I can't see anything on screen
(the screen flashes indicating graphics mode/xorg started). I'm
afraid what I *really* need is to discover why nothing (the DE/
greeter) aren't written to the screen.
No hints of a problem in /var/Xorg.0.log. :-(

It's been a long time since I've had to debug anything with lightdm,
so I'm afraid I don't have any magic suggestions.  I would probably look
at the documentation for lightdm.conf and see if there's a switch
that increases log verbosity for the process.
