Good to find a resolution - pity the mixed memory config didn't work.
Do you know if SunOS ran fine with that setup?

It may be worth filing a bug on it, if nothing else so that anyone
else who hits it in future has something which shows up in the PRs :)

Did you end up putting them back to -9.3 or going with -10? There have
been some framebuffer performance improvements which might just
help...
