-- I picked up a GT board set with the naive assumption of a simple upgrade. The PROM monitor version is 4D1-3.1 (from memory - sorry). The video simply seems not to be syncing properly. I assume that sync is no longer on green for the GT, correct? I would appreciate any assistance. (I realize that some information is missing from this note, but I'm not sure which info is relevant.) (This is my personal machine, Digital is not *that* cheap as not to buy maintenance contract :-) --------------------------------- Kevin D.

If you can get a tape of /etc/gl/*/*/*..., /bin/news_server, and /usr/lib/libgl{.a,_s.a,_s} that should cover most of the bases. Don't know much about what prom rev u need, but if you have a tty you can work around that problem with "setenv console d", and /etc/gl/restartgl to kick off the window manager.
