	Creator3D/UPA should work, but I have some trouble with NetBSD 6.1.x 
that is not stable enough to test. I haven't tested with -current as I 
only has in my second Blade a XVR500. Kernel seems to be stable on 
Blade2k (even if I have reported a very strange panic with 6.99.37 I'm 
unable to reproduce with more recent kernels) but X does not work. 
Startx produces on my Blade2k a kernel panic but I have no time to 
investigate (maybe in next couple of weeks...).

	That being said, XVR500 is not very weel supported and if it works with 
X, it only works in 8bbp.

	Regards,
