in the file /usr/dt/config/Xservers, we replace the line 

   :0   Local local_uid console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner

by 

  :0   Local local_uid console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner
-dev /dev/
fb defdepth 24

The graphic card 'Creator3D' is drived through /dev/fb.

Don't forget to restart your X server.
