Actually, the problem is that X11R6 does not have support for the CG14
video card, what happens is that it checks the emulation fields from
the get-info frame buffer ioctl and chooses to driver the video card
in the only mode it knows about: cg3.

There is no such thing as the SX mode (the SX is a different beast,
used to get memory from the system and using that as extra VRAM for
the MDI chip), but yes, indeed the Solaris X server and the Linux X
server have support for driving the cg14 card, you may want to look at
those.

Miguel.
