Hi Wilko, In my tests on my AlphaPC64 I've reported that without graphic card it works on AlphaPC64. :-) I've tested also with S3 Virge and Matrox Millenium, they don't work with BETA1. Yesterday I have tested BETA2 on AlphaPC64 and Matrox Card and it works as reported by somebody else. That's why I've asked what was changed in between. Best regards, G. Ardelean (Johny).home | help
