[Sunhelp] Console framebuffer driver

Thanks for all the helpful info everyone.  Unfortunately, I do not have the
cd.  Does anyone know of a way to copy them from a working system (E450 with
2.7 on it) or if that's even possible?  Otherwise, I'll have to see what I
can do to get a copy of the cd.

True!

There's a cdrom that comes with the card (cdrom from Techsource).  To get
the card to work, you have to put the cdrom in, cd to it after it's mounted,
and run install_all from the command line to add the drivers.
