Dear Tru64 Unix Managers,

 I have tried to install second video card, ATI Radeon PCI (slot 9),on
my DPW 600au with a PowerStorm 4D60T video card. The reason for this
configuration was that I want to use the ATI card for RH linux (it
works). Next I made a new full installation of the Tru64 v5.1A. ATI card
used for console, PowerStorm(vga-disabled). The installation was O.K.
and I got the Dtlogin (vga resolution) on the ATI. Next I installed the
PowerStorm driver. I wanted to get the Dtlogin on the PowerStorm.
However I always ended up with the console login on the ATI.
I tried to play with the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file, changing
local@console to local@none or local@ingr0 or screen1.
Sizer output -wt 32782; -wu 3; -wc 2 (? only 0 and 1 in the man page);
-gt p00e31091, vga; -gr 1280x1024 640x480.
My question is, what can I do to get the the Dtlogin on the PowerStorm,
if it is at all possible.
I have check the mailing-list and the best practices on the Compaq page
(multiple monitors)without a conclusion.
Next question is, if a configuration like this would work if I had a
video card with a Tru64 driver (e.g. oxygen vx1).

After removing of the ATI card (ingr_vga0 enabled on the PowerStorm)
everything is O.K., and I get the Dtlogin on the PowerStorm (ingr0).

Thank you
