Thanks Alexander,

I noticed that Xorg used by Solaris 11 is still freely available.

With regard to PC graphics card options, people who use apple often flash their 
cards to add code that calls the PC Bios code, Open Firmware and coreboot have 
been emulating pc bios also,  so I'm investigating whether something similar to 
the apple folks (who use UEFI) can be done for open boot.

There's a lot of very powerful cheap sun servers around at present.

Peter.
If you manage to flash cards to work on SPARC/Open Boot (if "only" flashing card is enough), you would still need drivers for SPARC for them.
So if there are working open drivers for other platforms, could be done,
if cards can be flashed and/or electrically changed or made to work on SPARC/Open Boot.
