I am currently installing Aurora Linux on a Sun Ultra10 (512Mb, with IDE 
9GB HDD and CDROM).

The graphics card is part number 501-4788 (newer part number is 
501-5690) which is a Creator 3D Series 3 Vertical Form Factor (according 
to  http://www.sunhelp.org/faq/FrameBuffer.html#99 ). This is also 
confirmed by the PCB layout at the bottom of   
http://sunsolve.Sun.COM/handbook_pub/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_Creator3D_3_FFB2plus.html#4788 


Now when I run Xconfigurator it will only give a Vertical Creator 3D. If 
I skip the tests and complete Xconfigurator and the run startx an X 
server seems to start but nothing gets displayed on the screen. 
CTL/ALT/BACKSPACE seems to kill the xserver and puts me back to the 
command line.

To get this card to work I have to select FFB2 Horizontal Creator3D! Is 
this correct?

Keith
