Well, not really. The Solaris driver emulates the cg3. The cg14 has a 
different RAMDAC and a very different control register set. But it is pretty 
easy to write a cg3-emulating driver; I've got the cg14 running in 8-bit mode
just fine. I was hoping to get 24-bit color to work before commiting the
driver (and I haven't had the time to learn enough nroff to do the manpage :-).

Yeah...this is the Solaris driver again. Apparently, it comes up by 
default in a cg3 emulation mode; the Solaris X server must do some
strange ioctl's to enable the SX mode.

If anyone wants a copy of the not-yet-cleaned-up 8-bit cg14 driver,
email me...
