You will probably be better off running a different flavor of UNIX. SUN is not going to be supporting the INTEL chip because of cut-backs. Besides, the support of video has always been lousy for Solaris x86 (Don't get me wrong...I'm a Solaris Admin).
I've heard that Linux has better support for the laptop.

NAME
bscv, bscbus, i2bsc - Blade support chip interface driver
DESCRIPTION
The bscv, bscbus and i2bsc drivers interface with the Blade support chip used on Sun Microsystem's Blade server products. These drivers
provide a conduit for passing control, environmental, cpu signature and event information between Solaris and the Blade support chip.
These drivers do not export public interfaces. Instead they make information available via picl, prtdiag, prtfru and related tools. In
addition, these drivers log Blade support chip environmental event information into system logs.
