Question: After installupdate from 3.0B to 3.2 (and upgrading firmware),
Digital UNIX on AlphaServer 1000 4/200 paniced when starting xdm when
using the "controller vga0" line in the configuration file. The system
worked fine without that line, but then it had no xdm.

Answer: Run the ECU after updating the system. There's even a
description of this prodecure in the release notes on page 3-3.
I had only ECU 1.5, and that didn't work. After getting ECU 1.7,
however, it worked great. (I had set console graphics from the start.
Also, I don't see no builtin VGA device using show config).

There are empty directories for ecu and rcu on ftp.digital.com in
/pub/DEC/Alpha. Are these supposed to contain the latest versions
of the configuration utilities?
