To start with, take a look at the Sun Hardware Reference which is 
compiled by James Birdsall. It's available for FTP from ftp.picarefy.com 
in /pub/Sun-Hardware-Ref.

I have a couple of web pages about framebuffers in the Sun data archive I 
maintain on my home machine. Check:

http://lios.apana.org.au/~cdewick/data

for links to the relevant pages.

There is also a very good framebuffer FAQ maintained by an engineer who 
works for Sun. The URL is kind of strange, but I have a link to it on:

Craig.
