>From my personal experience:
U10 with Creator3D (should apply to U5/Creator3D as well)
- 2.0 -> no support
- -current -> XFree86 with wsfb driver, talking to kernel "sunffb"
works, is non-accelerated, but mostly usable
U10 with ATI (machffb)
- can't get XFree86 to talk to it, neither with wsfb nor with ati
driver. But then, that's a dual-head box, so that might be
part of the problem - didn't try ATI without Creator3D yet.
