I was hoping ot get something from someone else, Kris.  I have already 
looked at all of the mails that were available (at least on the space64 
list) about my pgx64 card.  Unfortunately, I don't know very much about 
the sparc Video yet, and those mails all referred to the "Creator" 
cards.  I think those are different cards than mine.

They were also all referring to Ultra-10 systems, mine's a Ultra-60, but 
I figure that's not important.

I was just hoping for a comment about the pgx64 cards.  I cvan probably 
dope out the kernel config myself, witht he esception of the pgx64 
specific stuff.
