I have an AlphaServer 1000A running Du4.0E which has a VT as a console. I
would like to use a graphics monitor instead. I have a Matrox graphics
card which can be installed in the box.

I know I need to "set console graphics" at the >>> prompt. What else needs
to be done? Will I need to rebuild the kernel?

I was just going to try to put in the card and do the 'set console
graphics'. But I was not sure that would work. And if it did not, how
would I set console back to serial? This is a production system and cannot
be down very long.
