Hi

I've just installed Solaris Express 12/06 on a Sun Ultra 5. The installation 
went fine, but now I've got 8 bit colours in X.
A friend of mine suggested that I should buy a new graphics card, but this 
worked on an Ultra 10, so it should be possible to get 24 bits colour on an 
Ultra 5, right?

Not necessarily - first generation Ultra 5 & 10 machines came with
only 2 Mb VRAM on board, only allowing 24-bit at 800x600.   Later
generations came with 4 Mb VRAM, allowing 24-bit at higher resolutions.
