I luckily have to correct myself, as I just re-tested the publically available 
stuff on my vintage U10_300MHz_onboard_PGX8:

It does work!

The //xorg.conf.new generated by "Xorg -configure" is not correct and cannot be 
started.
But manually going through xorgconfig produces something usable.
Then the first tests from the command line:

Server starts: YES
Stop+A works: YES (though the ok promt screen is not properly visible/readable)
'ok go' brings us back to Solaris and Xorg: YES
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace kills SErver YES
After kill of server command line works: YES
Server can be restarted back and forth: YES

So it looks much better, than previously stated.
Not ati_drv.so seems to be the problem per se, but primarily the submodules 
responsible for PGX64  (most unstable) and XVR-100 (semi-unstable)   :-)
Attention: communication with dtlogin still doesn't work as it should.
Don't expect the current version of Xorg to be ready for daily use on PGX8.

More later, I have to earn some bucks and can not continue before end of this 
week.
