The systems handbook at:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub...s.html#GRAPHIC

lists the XVR100, XVR500 and PGX64 as supported cards.

I happily run GUI apps on a V210 by logging in with 'ssh -X' and then
remote display them to my iMac desktop running OSX. Remote display to
other Unix machines with X11, or perhaps a Windows machine with an X
server (such as Exceed) will also work. If running Solaris 9 you
will need to change the X11Forwarding option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and then HUP or restart sshd.

Cheers,
