Isn't this more of an XFree86 problem than a port-sparc64 problem? I mean,
given that it does relate very,very much, wouldn't it take someone who can
hack Xfree86 drivers, and sparc64 hardware?

Of course, if you could get me a hold of a similar Ultra5, with the specified
graphics card.....I'd be willing to give it a go :-P

p.s. (I'm just kidding, I suck at coding, well, in C that is)
