Well, it looks so far like my pgx64 isn't supported at all.

Anyone have any apocryphal info about Sparc video cards being 
good/bad/expensive/cheap?  Mail it to me either publicly or privately. 
If I get enough I will publish it (but I hardly expect that).

Hundreds of bucks down the drain.  There IS a Xorg driver for the card. 
  Gee, i wonder if it's be possible to figure out what he driver is 
doing, and adapt it?
