Video and Graphics card question - addendum

FYI - It is on a KVM. I switched out the KVM adapter and I also tried
rebooting the KVM switch. I have also attached a separate DB15 Monitor
(since it has an adapter connected to the video port). I also removed
the Video adapter and connected it to a 13w3 Monitor. No difference. All
monitor outputs look the same.

Hello,
        I am running Solaris 8 on an Enterprise 450. I am trying to figure out
if my video card went bad. The screen is there but it is unreadable.
        I rebooted the system with a boot -r to see if that reset the system.
That did not work. It still is very fuzzy and all over. I then tried an
fbconfig and m64config. The fbconfig does work but doesn't fix the
problem, the m64config does not. The m64config says the file does not
exist. I even tried drvconfig to see if it would reset the dev list, but
no such luck.
Any ideas on how I can try to resolve this or do I need to go out and
buy a new video card?
