Try a simple PCI VGA card or >a >serial console and check what happens. Oddness. It's the standard video card in the Alphaserver 400 as shipped, as I recall. Probably my fault for assuming that since it was listed as supported, that I didn't have to check each component individually against the list, too. Moral: RTFM.. :) I have found an old ET4000, and some fairly common cirrus logic card, I just hope that they are members of that subset of devices which work with the alpha. Thanks for the help, and the fast response! I will tinker tonight, and see if I can't get a little further. Regards, -a- (apologies for the crappy wrapping/formatting.
