No, on a more serious note, I wish you nice holidays    :-)

On the U60 (Psycho) it is known to work now.
Should also work on most other sparcPci.c-supported boxes, but you / I 
need to perform further tests there.

Mhh, Schizo.
I love the SB2K, my primary platform.

That's how you (Sun) have always done it.
And how it should be, thanks.

The Elite also works, just as _all_ Creator/Creator3D models do, even 
down on the U2.

A known issue.

Does do now.

PGX64 - relevant info, repetition: Never use the Stop+A (or related) 
abort sequence.
I have added a package that disables it entirely, otherwise the box 
would be locked up (when using the "ati" driver and its sub-modules).

It would have worked (also with the old packages) if you just had chosen 
more conservative monitor sync settings.
I need to add these lines to the "Config" database file, so that 
xorgconfig would automatically generate a usable /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
In a second step I need to add this to "Xorg -configure".
