Yes, the Ultra10 has builtin atimach64. If you want to use the Creator
and the Mach64 at the same time, you'll need to upgrade to woody, and
add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ebranden/ woody/sparc/
Run apt-get update, and then "apt-get install xserver-xfree86". Read the
docs, it will explain how to setup a multi-head system. Would be quite
easy to run X on the second graphics card, and keep the console on the
first.
IMO, the old xsun servers are fairly obsolete.
