Ooopps! I hit the "send" key by mistake. So Sorry. So here it comes again :


        This question is maybe a bit out of scope for this list but then I'm
not certain. So here we go...

        I've received a brand new AlphaServer 2100A last week which will be
eventually part of an ASE "Cluster". I already have some AS2100 and this one
is the first "A" model that we buy.

        This little guy comes with an Z3 Trio graphic adapter. All my other
2100's have a Qvision card. I looked in the "Systems and Option Catalog (SOC)"
and it seems that the S3 Trio is used for NT servers.

        Now I'm trying to find out if this S3 Trio will be working on a server
running DU 3.2D2 or not. Cause right now, I'm having freaky crashes whenever
I'm doing a /sbin/init.d/xdm stop. I get the message :

        DEC support is on this but I would like to know if someone has this
kind of card running at home and on which O/S. Is it only supported on NT
or will it work also on DU ?

        TIA, will summarize (well, maybe not the first mail :-) )
