Are you using the built-in ATi Rage128 or a Creator3D card?

I'm not familiar with recent Debian installations on the Ultra10 due to kernel stability issues and lack of time, so I don't know about the Rage128. The kernel config mentions that this driver is unsupported and "dangerous", so that may be one reason.

If you're using a Creator3D, I'm surprised that you got it working at all. I had limited success with a revived sunffb driver (it was removed from Xorg some years ago, although I think someone has recommenced work on it recently), but while it displayed something and didn't freeze the system, interaction with the Xorg desktop wasn't possible.
