Did you install Xfree v4.2. It is the first version
to have hw support for the sun boxes. I forget
off hand which cards are supported though.
With 4.2, you should be able to get xinerama going
KDE is getting better at the xinerama displays, and
it is available for Sparcs.

I also run Linux (Mandrake) on my Ultra2, and it runs beautifully. I have
been trying with NO success to have it run using my two screens (Creator3D
and TurboGX+). Is there any way you can help me set this up?
