I really can’t comment on the current state, but in 2018 I spent quite a bit of time configuring and diagnosing both mach64 and the XVR-100. Summarised in the blog. I don’t think things will have improved. It might also be an idea to contact the original author/maintainer of the > PGX-64 and XVR-100 graphics boards and ask whether they're willing to fix > the issue. > > Did these boards work in the past with the 32-bit sparc ? I can only comment on mach64 on 32 bit Sparc, it was working fine. The desktop was reasonably responsive. About as responsive as Solaris, so quite good. I didn’t get the xvr-100 until afterwards.
