Sunblade now has Gnome on it, Running in 8 bit.

Someone needs to install the ifb driver to get 24... or as the driver refers
to it "32" bit color.

Hi.

I've installed OpenBSD 4.7 on the SunBlade. It supports the graphics
card - it's currently set up in unaccelerated mode, so at least
there's a (crummy) X11 desktop available.

An accelerated driver is available but not installed and I don't want
to look at that now.
It currently doesn't authenticate to the network; there's a ucc/ucc
user, and the root password is the clubroom password.

If no-one else gets to it in the next few weeks, I'll put some more
useful software on it later.
