Sorry, I meant the driver for the Sun cards (PGX24/64) using the m64 chipset
is not available for x86.   There is of course a driver for generic ATI cards
for Solaris x86, but that's a different source base since it's covering a
different set of hardware, and I don't know if it includes the 8+24 support.
