Hello, Altough not really an OS spesific questions as such, I'm running out of places to look and people to ask for and about this. I'm trying to install a 3DLabs GVX1 PCI graphic card in my 164LX (EB164) system. When the power is turned on with this card installed, nothing happens! The keyboard lights flashes once, there's about half a second of disk activity, then the system dies. There's no screen output what so ever. I just upgraded the SRM from 5.6-3 to 5.8-1. Compaq say they support the 3DLabs VX1 card on systems with a minimum SRM version of 5.8 (5.9 for dual head, but 5.8 is the latest I can find for the 164LX). If someone knows of a newer SRM version for the 164LX, I would appreicate an URL to it...? The VX1 uses the same processor, the 3DLabs GLINT R3. In addition, the GVX1 has a Delta geometry processor. I have no clue as to what could be wrong here. I've tested the card in a x86 system just to se that it's not faulty, and it works fine. I've also tried another monitor, but with the same result. I even tried the card in all PCI slots, both 32-bit and 64-bit. Have anyone else tried this card, preferably with a larger degree of success then I? - IT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
