   BugId: 4134497
Issue Description: 
Any Ultra PCI-based system with the PGX Graphics PCI Frame Buffer (Sun
p/n 370-2256-02) installed may display a vertical black stripe down the
middle of the screen while operating in the OpenWindows environment.
This only occurs on PGX Frame Buffers where Fcode version 1.09 is
present.  Fcode version 1.06 does not experience this condition.

Unreleased Fcode version 1.09, which was inadvertently cut into the
370-2256-02, incorrectly sets the memory size in the MEM_CNTL register
to 4M when the board only has 2M as reported under Bud ID 4134497.
Current Fcode version 1.11 corrects this problem.  Suspect parts can be
visually identified by reading the label on the EPROM located at U4 on
the PGX card.  The EPROM will have the following annotation:

  SUN nach64 PCI
  113-377-1-109  (109 indicates 1.09 Fcode)
  (C) 1998

Fcode version 1.11 was incorporated into the 370-2256-03 within Manufacturing 
starting in late May 1998 via ECO# WO_12630.  All 370-2256-02 boards were
purged from Manufacturing in August 1998 via StopShip/Purge WW001#03536 and 
within Enterprise Services as late as October 1998 via LEAP_916.
