You might get it working using the sun framebuffer driver, but it may
not be accelerated.

I think the only accelerated cards in these are the ATI based ones.
I'm not sure if the XVR-1000 is.

I have a blade 1000 with some similar card, and was unable to get accelerated X.

Read /usr/X11R6/README on a sparc64 box.

Sun Blade 2000 with XVR-1000?

[UID ZERO]

Hi list.

I've been offered a Blade 2000 with an XVR-1000 graphics card, and was
hoping to run 4.4-current on it. Ideally would like to use it with X, but
can't seem to find any definitive information about whether this graphics
card works with xenocara.

Anyone have any experience with it? Does it work, and if so, how does it
perform?

(FWIW, I'm planning on using a Dell 2408WFP 24 TFT with the DVI connector
on the XVR-1000)

Cheers...
