Computer 24 bit graphics for Ultra 10?

I recently installed a PGX-32 graphics card on my Sparc 10 Ultra. I was under the impression that it would give me 24 bits at 1600x1200, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It's 8 bits only at that res.

So does anyone know of a Sun-compatible PCI graphics card that will run on the Sparc Ultra 10 running Solaris 10 (and has drivers available) that will let me run in 1600x1200x24?

You'd think that wouldn't be hard to find, but you'd be wrong. There is a confused and confusing welter on information and misinformation out there about these cards. And every card seems to have three different names. For example, the Sun PGX-32 is really a Raptor PGX-32 but comes up as a GFX8Pand is also an m640. Foo.

NAME
isp -- Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters SYNOPSIS
isp* at pci? dev? function? (PCI) isp* at sbus? slot ? offset ? (SBus) scsibus* at isp? DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to SCSI or FibreChannel devices. SCSI features include support for Ultra SCSI and wide mode transactions for SCSI, and LVD (for the ISP1080 and ISP1280), Fibre Channel support uses FCP SCSI profile for FibreChannel. and uses Class 3 connections only. Support is available for Public and Pri- vate loops. Command tagging is supported for all (in fact, FibreChannel requires tagging). CONFIGURATION
An optional flags 0x80 appended to the above isp* declarations will disable the download of driver firmware, which means you use whatever firmware is running on the card. If no firmware is running on the card, the driver cannot operate the card. An optional flags 0x40 appended to the above isp* declarations (can be OR'd in with the other config flags option) will keep the driver from looking at device or bus NVRAM settings (this is in case NVRAM is just wrong and you have the card in a platform where it is inconvenient to change NVRAM settings on the card). HARDWARE
Supported cards include: ISP1000 SBus Fast Wide, Ultra Fast Wide cards, Single Ended or Differential cards. PTI SBS440 Performance Technology ISP1000 variants.

The isp driver was written by Matthew Jacob for NASA/Ames Research Center. BUGS
The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings. The driver currently doesn't do error recovery for timed out commands very gracefully. Sometimes, when booting, the driver gets stuck waiting for the Fibre Channel firmware to tell it that the loop port database is ready. In this case you'll see an announcement that the loop state has a value of 0x1. To unwedge the system, unplug and replug the fibre channel con- nection, or otherwise cause a LIP (Loop Initialization Primitive sequence) - this will kick the firmware into getting unstuck. BSD
