At the office here I am running a number of HP Vectra's with the HP VGA
card installed (w/VGA Mono monitors). It seems that under DOS these
cards function just fine. My problems begin when running applications
(or trying to run applications) under SCO Xenix. Here are the problems:
1) Under VP/ix I am unable to run PFS:First Publisher. If I use the program
on a Herc card it works just fine. When I run it under VP/ix I just
get garbage on the screen. I have several other applications that
fail to run under the VGA card but run fine ona Herc card.
2) When trying to run SCO Xsight I get the following message:
"Display is PS/2 Video Graphics Array 640x480 16 colors
Can not set display to graphics mode: No such device or address
Xinit: I/O error"
Xsight will run on this system with a Herc card.
3) When attempting to run SCO CGI I get a message similar to the one on
#2 above. CGI is unuseable.
The systems I have tried this on are an HP Vectra QS/16 and an HP Vectra
RS/20c. I've called SCO about this and they were not able to offer any
assistance with the problem. I'm about to call HP about it but I thought
I would pose the question to the net as well.
Has anyone else had this problem? Have you been able to fix it?
Thanks very much.
