Hi, Damn - that was it! My drm and radeon drivers are now installed, and I've got compiz and emerald running on my 3400, just like on my Ultra20. =O)
Thanks to everyone, and if anything needs to be changed, then maybe a comment should be added to the driver loaders explaining that "bootadm update_archive" needs to be run afterwards - or even run it in the script, as frkit does? I don't tend to use init 6 to reboot, and I'm sure many others don't either (I'm a big fan of poweroff or "uadmin 2 0" - they're so much faster, and fine in most all circumstances). Ta, Mark.
