Subject: NetBSD on Ultra1/170E w/Creator3D?

Hi all,

I have an Ultra1/170E running Solaris 9 and am keen on installing NetBSD on
it (all my other 32-bit SPARCs are already running NetBSD).  My only
concern is X performance and support for my Creator3D. How well does X
perform compared to Solaris? Is the Creator3D even supported in
acclerated mode (some old mailing list postings seem to suggest not)?
Should I rather stay with Solaris 9 (onto which I've grafted pkgsrc
and with which I'm reasonably happy)?

Hope this isn't too much of a FAQ, but I didn't manage to find a definitive
answer on the NetBSD sparc64 port page or in the list archives.
