The easiest way to go back is to boot from cd and restore the filesystem from backup but, before you do that, let's try and move forward.
Firstly, after putting the driver on, did you tell the kernel to reconfigure?
Previous discussions on the web indicate that the new graphics adapter won't be seen until the kernel reconfigures.
( you could also add the 'verbose' switch to the boot command to see if it tells you anything you didn't already know as it boots.
)
I assume that you now have two graphics adapters in the system? Are you saying that, if you connect monitors to both adapters, that you don't get the GUI on either?
One of the links I provided previously explained how to tell the service processor about the new adapter and switch off the old one. (I assume the old one is on-board so can't be taken out?)
Remember to try kernel reconfigure after each of these (no harm in repeatedly telling Solaris to reconfigure).
Try installing the missing package from the distribution CD/DVD. It might just be on the media. If not Google for it. Post if you can't find it.

I have an ultra sparc 2 with no video - I connect to it with hyperterm.
Is there a way to get to the OK prompt? I have tried control/break and that does not work.
If not is there a video card I can get to put in this box?
I have Solaris 10 installed on this machine.
