Which is really two questions, and results in two
answers.
The command needed to fix video resolution is m64config.
I'm glad to say it's not obvious since I'd searched on
*vid*, *disp* etc, but found nothing :) afbconfig and
fbconfig may also help, but I didn't have to try them to
get this working.
There's also a site which lists some third party hardware
confirmed to work with Sun:
