Hi Steve, Well I guess I didn't try hard enough. A complete poweroff seemed to have fixed the video controller. The only thing I can think off here is that the Imagine-128-2 doesn't alway initialize correctly. There are some issues with the X server for that cards in other areas. So it appears that The only problem right now is my mptable. I'll send you a hard copy of the BIOS manual first thing in the morning. Thanks for all the help folks!
