Well, if you have the Solaris 9 install media you could do a new install on another disk to see if it installs the correct graphics driver and everything works.

I understand what you are trying to do but, physically mirroring a disk, is not really the way to achieve it. You could have used 'flarcreate' to create a flash archive of the whole system which would be easier to restore to the new box whilst coping with the different graphics adapter.

Ideally, we can find a download of Sun's XVR-100 driver and install that.

I may well ask around to see if anyone still has the driver(s) in distribution form.
