OSF managers,

We have a DEC 3000 - M300X system that was running OSF 3.0
I chose to remove the entire OS and install 4.0B not expecting
problems as I had already done a similar upgrade of another
box (from 3.2C). I think I'm out of luck on the graphics type.
Text mode works, but X locally does not.
Can anyone help?

uerf reports:
                                        Module PMAG-DA not in tc_option data
                                         _table, can't configure it

looking at /sys/<HOST>/tc_option_data.c there are the following in
one structure on 4.0B

    { "PMAGB-BA", "fb", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* SFB */
    { "PMAG-RO ", "fb", 0, 0, 'C', 0}, /* RO*/
    { "PMAG-JA ", "fb", 0, 0, 'C', 0}, /* RO*/
    { "PMAGC ", "pv", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* Low PV */
    { "PMAGC-AA", "pv", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* Low PV */
    { "PMAGC-BA", "pv", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* Mid PV */
    { "PMAGC-DA", "pvl", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* Low PVlite */
    { "PMAGC-EA", "pvl", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* Mid PVlite */
    { "PMAGD ", "fb", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* SFBP-8,-32,-32Z */
    { "PMAGD-AA", "fb", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* SFBP-8 */
    { "PMAGD-BA", "fb", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* SFBP-32 */
    { "PMAG-BA ", "fb", 0, 0, 'C', 0}, /* CFB */
    { "PMAG-AA ", "fb", 0, 0, 'C', 0}, /* MFB */

3.2C has:
    { "PMAGB-BA", "fb", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* SFB */
    { "PMAG-RO ", "fb", 0, 0, 'C', 0}, /* RO*/
    { "PMAG-JA ", "fb", 0, 0, 'C', 0}, /* RO*/
    { "PMAG-DA ", "px", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* LM-3DA */
    { "PMAG-FA ", "px", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* HE-3DA */
    { "PMAG-FB ", "px", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* HE+3DA */
    { "PMAGB-FA", "px", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* HE+3DA */
    { "PMAGB-FB", "px", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* HE+3DA */
    { "PMAGC ", "pv", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* Low PV */
    { "PMAGC-AA", "pv", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* Low PV */
    { "PMAGC-BA", "pv", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* Mid PV */
    { "PMAGC-DA", "pvl", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* Low PVlite */
    { "PMAGC-EA", "pvl", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* Mid PVlite */
    { "PMAGD ", "fb", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* SFBP-8,-32,-32Z */
    { "PMAGD-AA", "fb", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* SFBP-8 */
    { "PMAGD-BA", "fb", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* SFBP-32 */
    { "PMAG-CA ", "px", 0, 1, 'C', 0}, /* 2DA */
    { "PMAG-BA ", "fb", 0, 0, 'C', 0}, /* CFB */
    { "PMAG-AA ", "fb", 0, 0, 'C', 0}, /* MFB */

Unfortunately, I don't see any "px" fields in the file for 4.0, so
I'm thinking that things are bleak.

Anyone know of a substitution or anything? Or maybe a missing patch?

Thanks,
