Hello!

I've a problem with a XP1000 running DU v4.0E.
I installed it with a multisync monitor with name N and installed after a
piece of advice DWS Open3D PowerStorm 4D10T V4.93 in order to support the
Elsa GLoria Synergy graphics controller.
I had no problem running CDE.

After some days without a monitor it was taken down in order to get a new
name and a 18GB disk.
Everything seemed ok in single-user so I put it in multiuser state and
thus /sbin/rc3.d/S95xlogin was run.

The monitor reponds Out of Range,
The picture just moves rapidly over the screen.

Uerf tells this about the grapics controller

Sizer says:

Option gt :COMET
Option l :0
Option p :1
Option r :rz0
Option v :Digital UNIX V4.0E (Rev. 1091); Thu Apr 29 14:27:25 MET DST 1999
Option wc :0
Option wp :PCXAS
Option wt :14
Option wu :1

This is exactly the same as sizer on three similar machines tells me -
both concerning open3d and sizer.

/var/X11/Xserver.conf is used with no extra arguments now, but I've also
tried to add ++++++++this+++++++++++++++ without changes (rebooted):
 args < -pn -screen 1280x1024 -vsync 75

Is the controller broken?

It is possible to log in but impossible to seen the screen.
Remote working is ok.
The controller has one jumper, "VGA enable/disable"
If this is set in the other position it impossible to use the screen even
i console- or single-user mode.
