I will answer your posting here, but sorry will not use e-mail to respond, too many chances of being dropped on every spammers list from here to poland. Besides, you should get e-mail from this site notifying you of this post, and the purpose of a forum is to make the questions and answers publicly available.

You need to download the XFree86 video porting kit from Sun. do a search on "xfree86 video port" at their site and you should be able to find it. It will allow you to run Sun graphics on any card that XFree86 will support.

Sorry if you dont understand my reply, I only speak English.

I just answered another post in this forum that may be the answer to your problem as well. Run the command below and post the results.

Code:
showrev -p | grep 109401
The 5th revision of this patch added support for the G450, if you have something prior to this, then you need to patch your system.
