It's a huge improvement for my creator card. i have an ultra1 with a Creator card, for the moment i am using xserver-xsun24 (3.3.6-11) and i dont find a 4.0.1 xsun24 in woody ? i can see a xserver-xfree86 4.0.1-5 package though. but on http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/RELNOTES3.html#19 there it says the new server for creator cards is 'sunffb' but i cant find that one in woody. bruno

That would be impressive considering how much better the Creator 3D on my Ultra 1/170E performs over the cg14 on my SS20 2xSM71... but sure, I'll give it a whirl soon. :)

Anybody tried debian on a Sparcstation 20 with Quad 100MHz CPU's and the 24Bit upgrade for the onboard FB? Does it work, and does it run 24Bit Color, or 32Bit Color? Chris Brandstetter Inventive Communications
