I recently had the on-board graphics of an ultra 5 die. Will the Ultra 5
take any PCI VGA adapter, or must i order something proprietary?

Thanks

You need to install something that comes with a SPARC / Solaris Driver.

( i.e. you WIN98 drivers wont cut it )

That i knew. But do you still need a full driver set if you just want to
use VGA? I.E. OOTB on Intel platforms, VGA cards require no proprietary
driver to display VGA.
