#0.) Good to know, you agree with me there. #1.) I'm not complaining (at least wasn't this my intent), just correcting incorect details. (BTW did I purchase a NIB SunBlade150 directly from SUNW in 2003, and a SPARCle500SX directly from Tadpole (in both cases not from ebay!), so I had a right to judge. But I am very happy and don't see any reason to complain. gfx performance is ok for my needs [coding, office]) #x.) Cosmic thanks, that you managed to make the /dev/fb drivers redistributable :-) marTux_0.3 (as well as the then separatly available MRTXxorg package) is going to add support for the Creator Creator3D and Elite 3D UPA boards, just as promised (only a bit out of schedule). Already works here on my Blade 2000. The packages once announced as CSW* pkgs will finally come this spring, but as MRTX* pkgs. -- Regards, Martin
