What older PCI-E boards would it replace? The only PCI-E graphics
cards Sun ever sold for SPARC workstations were the XVR-300 for 2D
users and the XVR-2500 for 3D users.

Xsun is not based on Xorg - the device independent layers are from the same
X11R6 parentage, but everything under hw/ is quite different, especially
the interfaces between the server and the loaded driver modules.

XVR-200 is not an ATI card. It uses a Matrox G550 chipset.
