According to Artem, who has worked on HAL in Solaris, he says that he
doesn't see graphics cards in the HAL spec, and PCI graphics cards will
appear in the list as a generic PCI device.

It seems that the pci.device_class property is missing on the Sun
implementation of HAL.  He says that the fix might be as simple as
adding this property.

Or is it possible to get the needed information another way on
Solaris?  Perhaps HAL could check if the property exists, and if not,
have fallback code for Solaris?
