This is a project that some people of the sparc/linux community would be
interested in... people ask about these cards every so often on the
mailing lists, and the answer is "no, they don't work in SPARC/Linux",
not just SuSE. The demand for this support isn't _that big_, but if you
(or someone) added support for their fb's, I wouldn't complain. ;)
