In the mean time I put my three little Ultra 10s to hard work and finally I
solved the mistery:. One ultra10 has a creatir3d, one has an elite3d with
creatir driver assigned, the last one is using the on-board ati video card
(no UPA card).
Here is what I did:
- installed openbsd 6.7 without any x-related packages;
- recompiled xenocara according to the 'readme';
- after carefully consulted the man page, I inserted the following
xorg.conf in /etc/X11:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Xenocara Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "Xinerama" "On"
EndSection

EndSection
____________________________________
option device -> /dev/ttyD0 is the creator3d/elite3D UPA card, /dev/ttyC0
is the onboard ati card.
driver "sunffb" not working.
driver "wildcatfb" also not working - that's for expert3d and xvr UPA cards
with "wild cat labs" labels on their chips.
I did not try that xorg.conf + creator3d + included x-related packages (no
xenocara) yet. It may work.
Hardware acceleration sucks for both creator 3D and Elite 3D - I have both
boards. The performance is close to Solaris 10+ original drivers. However
it is far better than on-board ATI. 640x480 MPEG movies render bad, they
drop frames: mplayer + xv and +sdl.
I wonder how xvr1000 performs.
