Yes, I'm afraid so. We have Creator3D working on Ultra-30/Ultra-60
but my Ultra-10 test machine locks up solid after blanking the screen
if the Creator3D support is enabled in the kernel.
It's something I'll look into at some point if nobody else gets a chance
to look into it, though it will take me a while. I've been working on
fixing a regression that happened with syscons, which I might have a
patch for (initial version has been sent to someone for comment :-).
Once that's done there is a lot of pressure for getting KSE to work,
if it doesn't sparc64 will probably slip out of Tier-1 status.
