I finally found out how to switch the SPARCbook's graphics chip to 16 and 24bit colour, also added hardware acceleration for line drawing and colour expansion ( for text drawing ). Performance is pretty good, certainly feels a lot faster than Solaris' Xsun - not that I ran any real benchmarks though.

One more item to scratch from the Things That Solaris Can Do But Not Us list :wink:
