Worked fine on the one here, 17" color trinitron, GX/Lego,
Sparcstation-1. I don't think it much takes advantage of the board,
perhaps that's what you heard? But it works, and it's even reasonably
fast for general chores. Sunview, obviously tuned to the Lego, is much
faster if you want to see what the machine is capable of. I assume
you'll eventually get the X11/NeWS server from Sun and that will
exploit the hardware.
