Good afternoon,

We have two 2100 4/200 systems. Each with identical graphics cards. One
is running V4.0d, (Patch kit 2)and the following is how Unix sees the
graphics adapter (copied from uerf -R)

ati0 at eisa0
ati0: ATI Mach64-GX Rev. 3 (SVGA)


The second just had V4.0E (no patch kits yet) installed, and Unix sees it's
machine's card as:

vga0 at eisa0
640x480 VGA, 16 colors
vga0: generic VGA driver

Anyone else seen this? Anyone know what was done wrong, if anything, on
installation?

As you might imagine, CDE shows rather poorly at VGA resolution!

I will summarize.

Regards,

Bruce
