No doubt! If Sun wanted to fix this problem and make some $$.. they should get a PCI card made with NVidia or ATI chipset and the right ROMs to run on OBP. Make sure it can do 3D with Xorg and sell it for less than $300. I'm sure they would sell fast as anyone with a SPARC workstation jumps at the chance to get a better video card!
