I don't have a Creator on my Ultra 10 (onboard ATI), but X works
with Creator on my Ultra60 using Jan 10 jessie version of Debian.
I know that at some point before this version, the sunffb module
was missing, so there was no X.
I don't know what you intend to do with your Ultra 10, but even
if you get X working, I doubt if any of the graphical browsers
will work (bus error) and/or be very slow.
The following is what is working for me now:
