Southland MGX+ question

Hi,

Recently I got a Ultra1 with the Southland Media MGX+ graphics card
installed (Solaris 2.5). To use the card in a SPARCstation20, Solaris 2.6
I do a pkgmk of all files installed prior on the Ultra1 to get the
MGX+ running (obviously I did not do the install on the Ultra1!).
But the MGX+ appears not in the /devices directory, but is visible
via prtconf and in the PROM mode. I suppose the /kernel/mgx driver
does not suit on a sun4m system, but its unlikely. I have no idea
which modifications the original install sequence made or which
components are not designed to run on a sparc20. Has anybody the
old driver package available or can give any hints what I can do
to get the driver working on the sparc20 system????? Please help,
the MGX+ seems to be a fine graphics card.

Thanks in advance,

Michael
