 I had an Elite card in my Ultra 60.  You need to install a package to get it 
 to 
 work.  The package is afbinit, and comes with Woody. 

What he hasn't isn't an AFB (which Sun calls Elite3d).  It's a PCI card made
by 3dlabs (which Sun calls Expert 3d) which has no Linux drivers.

 I have a Rage 7000 Mac card working in my Uax just fine. The Rage 7000
 Mac is also an ATI card but newer version. The Mac stuff says its an
 OBP card. Very good so far. This card can do reasonable 32bit screens
 with 1280 x 1024...
 
 The problem is ATI messed up two small spots in the OBP and got caught
 by powerpc machine specific issues. The card won't boot at all, i.e.
 the Ultra wont come up at all with the original card.
 
 I have set up some binary patches for my specific Rage 7000 card,
 which work well for me.

Sun sells and uses a Rage 7000 with OBP on it too.  They call it
the XVR-100 and I have one in the SunBlade-1500 (Silver) I just
got.

 So here I have my brand new Sun Blade 100 (not that new...) to help
 debian spread on Sparc. Installation went fine, new kernel as well. Just
 the Elite3D PCI is not recongnized by X:
 
 :01:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intergraph Corporation: Unknown 
 device 07a0
 
 I've seen the SBus drivers, and will be hacking the next days on them.
 Did anyone already solved the puzzle? (just asking).

It's a totally different chipset (3dlabs), there is no documentation
available and therefore there will likely never be a driver for Linux.

Take that PCI card out and use the on-board PGX64 (ATI
mach64 based) video, Linux works on that just fine.
