You might want to hang out on debian-sparc. I've got an Ultra 30 which is my desktop; I shut it off when I'm not using it because it's damaging my hearing :-) I also have an Ultra 60 which is supposed to be a server but is mostly sitting around doing nothing: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uptime 21:13:16 up 34 days, 23:23, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 I also have two Sparcstation 5s here but right now they are off. I'm guessing you have an Ultra 30 with a Creator 3D framebuffer? There's no such model as a "Sun Creator" :-) it sounds to me like you have a hardware problem. -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] See, if you were allowed to keep the money, you wouldn't create jobs with it.
