Dear System Manager,
I am asking for help installing a new grafics card 3DLabs oxygen VX1 PCI on
my
AlphaStation 200 4/166 running tru64 V5.1A noncommercial.
The system was running so far with a ZLXp-E1 grafics controller in 8 bit
color mode.
Because the color flickering with 8 bit colors it is very annoying having
windows open
with color intensive applications as gimp, netscape, xv etc. I was looking
for a 24 bit
grafic card. Screening the internet lists for card supported by tru64 the
3DLabs oxygen VX1 PCI
was the choice to do the job and I ordered one via the internet from a
computer components dealer.
Swapping the cards und booting the kernel genvmunix from V5.1A resulted in:
pci0 (primary bus:0) at nexus
Loading SIOP: script c0000000, reg 82030000, data 41900000
panic (cpu0): apecs_read_io_port
DUMP.......
Every kernel with p3g support configured I tried crashed.
The SRM FW rev. is 7.0. The srm show config says:
Bus 00 Slot 13: Vendor: 3d3d Device:a
I have no idea how do make this card working in my system. Help is very
much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
