Colby, this is correct for two reasons:
#0.) SB15K's pci bridge is currently completely unsupported by Xorg's bus 
scanning
#1.) XVR500/XVR-600 are totally unsupported by Xorg (independently from the 
system they happen to be sitting in). No src (or detailed datasheets) have ever 
been released to the public domain. Not Sun is to be blamed for this, but 
3dLabs is (Wildcat series).
However, www.xig.com offers accellerated X11 drivers (not Xorg, but their own 
proprietary version) for some frame buffers on Solaris SPARC and x86. Maybe you 
should ask them for assistance:
