Hmmm.  I assumed something along that lines.

Most likely it's due to the Ultra10 having two graphics gards (an ATI
Rage Pro something on PCI, and the Creator 3D on UPA).

Next question.  On "i386" with "Linux" (or something) usually one doesn't
need a kernel driver for the graphics card in question to get X11 running.

I assume that it's different on NetBSD/Sparc64?

If so, which driver entries would one need in the kernel config file?
The only thing that I can find in 2.0RC4's "GENERIC32" is this:

## Sun FFB not supported
#ffb*           at mainbus0
#wsdisplay*     at ffb?

... which doesn't look overly promising... :-/

John Heasly posted a list of options to set in a similar thread yesterday
(Subject: NetBSD on Ultra1/170E w/Creator3D), but his changes seem to
require additional patches (and the links given don't work).

Still somewhat confused...

Forgive me my nonsense as I also forgive the nonsense of those who think
they talk sense.
