The brute force override >>> set pci_device_override -1 really not works for SRM version V6.6-29. We updated to version V7.2-1 and now the SRM console accepts the Matrox Millenium after having executed the command above. Nevertheless, it's more clean to follow your suggestion and execute >>> set pci_device_override on the SRM console. We obtained from the output of pciconf -l on a running machine with the same graphics card giving something like ... card=0x ... We did not check if this works for V6.6-29, but for V7.2-1 the graphics card is accepted. As a remark, in the HARDWARE.TXT there seems to be a misprint concerning this problem, because there and are interchanged. Best regards, Ralph. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Tue, 24 Oct 2000, Andrew Gallatin wrote: > Ralph Schreyer writes: > > Hello Wilko, > > > > thank you for your answer.
