    Hi Lou,

    Sun Sparc 20 4MB VSIMM for Onboard SX graphics Sper fast 24 bit graphics for
    your sparc 10 or 20
    They are $40-$80 on Ebay

            Dear All:

            As I understand it, I am limited to 8 bits of color with my GX Video
    card
            (Sparc 10) - is this true? Does anyone know which sbus cards (16?
    24 bit?)
            have been made to work with SuSE Linux?

            Can anyone tell me which cards, if any, explicitly do not work??

            Many thanks in advance. Lou
