Thanks a lot.
I suspected something similar but I wasn't sure about it.
So far, so good. I'll try a rc kernel then

Unfortunately, I dont'have such cards handy at the moment, just standard PC 
cards and a Sun Raptor GFX (that I know is also problematic due to the need 
of binary firmware).
Mach64 is quite outdated for graphics use (as is the Ultra10 as a whole, being 
replaced by SunBlade) so I was a looking for a more performing card. I'll dig 
the net to find a used Creator3D, then, at least to achieve dual-head 
functionality.

I still have lots of curiosity about Debian on Sparc (yes, I love Debian, and 
I love Suns, but I don't like Solaris and CDE very much) so I hope I'm not 
nagging you with all my questions :)

Thanks a lot,
Antonello.
