I've installed using the Apr 14 tftpboot.img and the same XFree86 on a
brand new Ultra 5 that comes with PGX24 graphics (that is Mach64 but
with 4MB memory) and I'm having similar problems (kernel 2.2.5).

8-bit color is fine, but at 16 or 24 everything looks very purple and
the mouse pointer must be artwork :-)

Until I saw your message, I figured it had something to do with the
new PGX24 graphics.
