cg8? that's a P4-bus 24-bit framebuffer... Are you *sure* it's a cg8? I
suspect if it's double-width, it will be one of the really old Sbus cg6
cards that took up two Sbus slots. You will probably find that the
double-width cg6's are not supported under newer versions of SunOS, and
may not be supported in Linux either.

Well, I'm fairly sure it can't be a cg8. Have a look at the board and tell
us the Sun part number...

Regards,

Craig.
