Which version of NetBSD? I'm running a mid-July 3.0_BETA on my Ultra 5 and
it works like a champ - even supports an accelerated framebuffer console
with the onboard Rage Pro (wscons works so I have virtual consoles) and
XFree86 works out the box. Had a small problem with Xrender a few weeks
back, but Michael Lorenz fixed that, and it's been rock solid since.
