For some version of "work" that - for me and the machines I have available -
doesn't necessarily involve the notions of "reliably" or "quickly".

Or is there something problematic about XVR-500 graphics?

(It always used to work great years ago, but I don't trust it. The worst thing
is that it takes 2-3 minutes to suspend, and fails a reasonable fraction
of the time, so you can't walk away and rely on it to suspend. And I've only
just had one of the SunBlade 150s not wake up properly and needing to
be power-cycled.)
