What framebuffer do you have installed in the machine?  If it's a PGX32
then you'll need to installed the drivers off of the CDROM that came with
the card (the disc should have been included if the card was part of a
prebuilt system as well).

Drivers are included in recent revisions of Solaris.  I'm not sure if
they're downloadable from Sun separately.
