Solution:
All of the respondents had great advice but the problem was the graphics
card is not supported by DEC Unix (or Open VMS for that matter).
Here's the card specs;
PB2GA-CA NUMBER 9 VGA (1 - 3M)
DEC Support pointed me to a web page that had all this info:
http://www.digital.com/info/alphaserver/tech_docs/alphasrv2100a/docs/supported_options.html
Looks like we'll just trade up the card to finish the migration to DEC Unix.
Thanks,
Steve McLaughlin
