Thanks to all who replied, credits at the end.

My original question was:

> I've installed Solaris 7 (INTEL) onto a DELL Latitude CPi with 14" TFT
screen

> The NeoMagic graphics device is not supported, it's not in the HCL, so I'm

The concensus was to use xfree86, available at www.xfree86.org

This is what I'll try, it has successfully been used by others on DELL and
Toshiba laptops with the NeoMagic graphics device.

Other suggestions were:
- check out the solarisonintel 'group' at www.egroups.com
- www.xigraphics.com
- www.xig.com

And thanks to those who simply said "Use Linux"!! I am also (successfully)
running RedHat on this laptop.
