Hello,

Most likely it's just a PCish graphics board in drag^H^H^H with Sun
firmware. The PGX24 and 64 use some ATI chips, the 32 is a Permedia2 if
I remember correctly. Currently there's no support to use any of these
as console ( although a driver for generic PCI framebuffers exists -
this will allow you to use it but it won't be pretty, let alone fast ).
In theory these chips are supported by XFree86's glint driver but I have
no idea if it works on Sun hardware at all. The ATI driver does so
there's hope.

have fun
Michael
