Can you confirm that they SVGA connector is actually on the system
board?  The Ultra 10's I've dealt with had a separate video card and
the only SVGA output was on the SunPCI card for Winblows use which
isn't active unless a SunPCI session is in progress.

sao> And then, totally unrelated... Where do I find SunPCi software?

It should be FTP'able from Sun or in fact able to be gotten off of
their web site.

You should just be able to pick up and use the latest one as long as
your system is patched properly.  Heck, the instructions for the
SunPCI software tell you to uninstall any old versions anyway.

Regardless make sure you have some decent disk space available to
donate to the SunPCI installation.  Preferably plug a separate 4gig or
greater drive onto the chain just for it.  _Especially_ if you're
loading NT or 2000 on it.
