I think the Radeon kernel driver is the best option here: if we get it to work,
the entire graphics stack and vt(4) will work. For instance, your Sun XVR-100
card is listed as supported.

I tried to build it on sparc64 and some APIs are missing. The first failure is
the lack of some atomic operations, such as atomic_swap_*.

Is this something you are willing to work on?
