non-openboot PCI video cards on sparc64?  really?  I thought there
were problems both with XFree86/Xorg locating the card without an
OpenPROM node, and then even more fundamental problems that full
bootup-initialization code for modern video cards is contained only in
the x86 ROM and in the proprietary Linux .o XFree86/Xorg module
(PeeCees with second video cards have the same problem, and get around
it either using the works-on-i386-only x86 emulator built into
XFree86/Xorg to run the ROM, or using the i386-only proprietary
drivers from the card manufacturers).
