Jason,

We have made a tiny bit of progress on that UItra45 problem using an
experimental
branch of the XFree86 4.7.0 X server.  It has been a hard task since
we do not have
access to SPARC PCI Express specs and the Sun code is still locked up.

I will forward your question to the XFree86 guru helping me.

Pat
