So it doesn't look like the kernel framebuffer drivers picked it up.
So that should be 3d3d:1047... but from the looks of it, that's not
the detection method on sparc, the driver is just looking for "SUNW,gfb"
in the PROM data.
Can you install sparc-utils and run prtconf -v, and see if anything like
that comes up?
