Thanks for the replies: yes, my Ultra 10 came with a Creator 3D installed
(it shipped that way with the extra "Creator 3D" logo on the case). For now
I've yanked it out so it uses the onboard ATI VGA, but I was thinking that
if an adapter wasn't too pricey I'd like to use the Creator, if only because
it has more memory to drive higher colour depths.

It's working fine via ssh, but I'd like to tinker with it, including playing
with the desktop. CDE may be ugly, and Gnome may be painfully slow (333 MHz
CPU), but it helps me pass the time :)

Regards,

Mike
