I think I can conclude, now, that there is insufficient documentation available
for the Solaris ffb kernel driver to make XFree86 work with it.  After some
more searching, I found a couple newsgroup postings from 1997/1998 timeframe of
other people trying to get X11R6 to work with their Creator 3D cards, and the
replies from Sun engineers were essentially, "you need to write your own kernel
driver."  In other words, they are keeping the implementation of their kernel
driver to themselves.  This is fair enough, but custom kernel drivers are a bit
over my head at this point in time (it would require porting a Linux-based ffb
driver to the Solaris kernel driver architecture)
