Hello Wilko, thank you for your answer. We checked alpha/HARDWARE.TXT and tried to install a MACH64 and a Matrox Millenium II graphics card. In both cases the message "illegal device on slot 5" appeared and the SRM console did not start, even if we did >>> set pci_device_override -1 The SRM version on our alpha 433au is V6.6-29. Is it simply that these cards just don't work or do we have to do something else? Best regards, Ralph. _________________________________________________________________ On Mon, 23 Oct 2000, Wilko Bulte wrote: > On Mon, Oct 23, 2000 at 05:32:32PM +0200, Ralph Schreyer wrote: > > Hello, > > > > we have installed 4.1.1 release on our alpha 433au and everything works > > just fine! > > We'd like to run X (installed version is XFree86 3.3.6).
