Greetings all, I've got a little problem here that has me stumped. We
have a 500Au machine which was Tru64 4.0C. That was having some problems
so we decided to upgrade it. I went through all the documentation,
discovered I couldn't upgrade direct to 5.1 so attempted to upgrade to
4.0E. During the process I discovered the /usr partition had various media
errors (I suspect this was causing the problems in the first place) so I
did some more rummaging around and found a new hard disk.
I put that in, installed 5.1 and there was much rejoicing. Then I tried
getting into it and found that the OS only finds a VGA 640*480*16colour
graphics adaptor. This is a new one on me, all the other installations
I've done the graphics card is discovered and configured automatically.
I've been looking for drivers and I may have found the right ones
(apparently they're the same ones as another system that is working) but I
have no idea how to install them. All I have is a tar file filled with
files called such things as O3DDWSBASE480 and the like.
The graphics card itself is a huge Integraph thing, model "PBPSPBXGI"
trade name: "PBXGI" with a cirrus logic card piggy backed onto it.
Any suggestions from the gurus?
Cheers,
Ryan.
