Version 1.2.1 of radeonhd is included in the current builds. It's
part of the SUNWxorg-graphics-ddx package, and installs the driver
as the files /usr/X11/lib/modules/drivers/radeonhd_drv.so and
/usr/X11/lib/modules/drivers/amd64/radeonhd_drv.so
The man page for 1.2.1 only lists cards up to the Radeon HD 3870,
and doesn't list the X4850, so the included version probably won't
help.

The headers aren't included on the LiveCD - to get all the headers,
the easiest is to install one of the development clusters (ss-dev for
Sun Studio, gcc-dev for gcc) - for X drivers you at least need to
pkg install SUNWhea SUNWxwinc SUNWxorg-headers if you don't add one
of the clusters that includes them all.
