[KLUG Members] Linux-compatible video cards for SPARCs

I've got a Sunblade 2000 machine at work that is currently running
solaris, and sucking a lot of wind. 

The only issue is with the Video Card, which is an XVR-500. 
Incompatible with linux!

For those of you running linux on SPARC machines, what video cards do
you use?  I haven't found much about linux compatible video cards for
SPARCs.  I have a couple of Sun-Branded video cards from other machines
in the office, but Xorg complains about no Int13 domain.

Anyway, if you have any info, I'd appreciate it. I'm going to keep
looking in my spare time.   Last time Itested linux on this thing, it
screamed compared to solaris (and solaris' gnome packages have serious
bugs.)
