If you want to see it at show-displays, it needs to support OpenFirmware
instead of PC BIOS, which rules out virtually all non-Sun graphics cards.
You might be able to get an ATI Radeon 7500ME (Mac Edition) to work, since
Macs also use OpenFirmware, and the XVR-100 card is based on the 7500ME so
the driver might work with it. (I've never tried, this is just speculation.)
