Hello,

Your U10 seems to have an Elite3D card in its UPA slot.

This one:
 SUNW,afb at mainbus0 addr 0xfebee000 not configured

> Hey the original problem is i can't get X to work.

Did you bother to read http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/sparc64/ ?
X support for hardware like yours was added after 2.0 was released and
will be present in 3.0

Upgrade to 3.0 BETA or -current.
These also support accelerated X, virtual consoles and so on with
Creator, Creator3D and Elite3D boards. To get X acceleration to work
you'll need the afbinit utility ( available from pkgsrc ) and a copy of
Sun's afb firmware ( grab it from a Solaris box, it's in
/usr/lib/afb.ucode )

Yes. Xsun directly supports cg6 and a couple other (mostly) SBus
framebuffers. What you have is something completely different.

have fun
