Except for the odd line break and the rev number, that looks exactly
like the builtin cgsix on my IPX:

cgsix0 at sbus0 slot 3 offset 0x0 level 7: SUNW,501-1672, 1152 x 900, rev 8 (console)

and I've had no trouble with it.  Console works fine (albeit a bit
slow, unless I sacrifice some RAM to the ramforth speedup kludges),
wscons works fine modulo some colormap issues, and X works fine (though
the X I'm using is built myself based on the R6.3 distribution; I would
assume the X in the package system will work too, though I can't
personally attest to it).
