[comp.graphics] Matrox VIP-1024 Frame Buffer and Digitizer

schicchi@ece.arizona.edu (Doug Smith) (05/29/91)

Hello,

is anyone out there in net land using a Matrox VIP-1024 Frame Buffer and
Digitizer on a Sun 3 running SunOS 4.1.1? I recently upgraded a sun3 with
this board from SunOS 3.5 to SunOS 4.1.1, and I'm having trouble
modifying the device driver. I was able to hack things enough to put 
together a new kernel, but when I boot it I get this message about the 
VIP board:

May 28 11:42:01 orient vmunix: VIP0: FGRACT not zero
May 28 11:42:01 orient vmunix: VIP1: No memory
May 28 11:42:01 orient vmunix: VIP2: No memory

If you have a similar setup, please drop me a line telling
me how you got your kernel configured for this board.

Thank you.
