Hi, In my AS 1000A 5/400, I've put a Matrox Mystiqe with 4MB of VRAM. Its got the 1064SG chip, which is supported by X11 and the mga accelerated driver. However, XFree86 under both 1024x768x16 and 800x600x16, I get _bad_ graphics corruption, consisting of vertical yellow lines down the screen in all windows and graphics elements. Of note is that this card is from a PC. Is there anything I can do about this? Is it something Alpha or bus speed related? Should I try another slot? Its in the slot the original card was in... I had tried to run X with the supplied 1MB Number Nine Trio64+ card, but that ended in failure as the machine never actually brought up the display in graphics mode (still was in text mode with gibberish) and whenever I pressed Ctrl+ALT+Backspace to exit the X server, the machine paniced with a "sense code 0x8e <something>" error. I happen to have a Dell card, but its also a Trio64+ and I'm not sure it will work well. What video cards have people gotten to run perfectly find in their AlphaServers? Thanks, Dan
