Nor do they run with nVidia's 3D-accelerated binary drivers.  Or can 
the "nv" driver handle 3D on the Ultra 20's video card?


Though coming up with a modern elitist machine that has all-free drivers 
and halfway-decent 3D (for compiz/beryl) on at least three DVI monitors 
seems to be an exercise in frustration if not futility.


(As a former Sun admin and Ultra 10 user, it's very strange to read of 
a "Sun Ultra 20" machine that has an AMD rather than SPARC processor.)
