[Aurora-sparc-user] GUI/Gnome on an e450 - card options

So I installed my 2GB of RAM into my e450 with ease and am now up to 2.5GB.
I think I may give up on the Raptor (Sun PGX32) because the support is
shoddy at best.  My question is, what the heck else will work?  I'd really
like to get GNOME working on my e450 because it will be used as a show piece
at our hacking competition at RIT this year (It's going to simulate an
online banking system) and I'd like to be at the machine during the
competition.

If there's an RPM or something that will fix the support for the raptor, let
me know.  I know they fixed it way back when with SuSe 7.3 but it works and
then promptly crashes.  I'd like to be able to run a full GUI on my
machine.  I'm no linux expert, but I'm versed and can do what I'm told :)

but as of now I have an Elite3D card I'll try tonight.  Any other card
suggestions (under $100 preferably) that play well with the SPARC arch?
