9743.0. "Graphical Adapter unsupported before 4.0a ?" by TAEC::GARCIA () Wed May 07 1997 15:13

 Hi,

We are trying to downgrade DUnix (factory installed 4.0) to 3.2G on two 255/300
workstations.
We are facing problems with the Graphical adapter "Power Storm" 4D40T (50T,60T ?), also
identified as PBXGI-AC (AB, AA ?) documented as supported only from 4.0a.
As our product (TeMIP) is available only on 3.2G (and not on 4.0 before a few months),
how are our customers going to deal with that new hardware ? Is there any patch to allow
to support that interface with 3.2* ?

Thanks a lot for your help,

9743.1You need to run Unix 4.0a or laterWRKSYS::RICHARDSONWed May 07 1997 17:427
    The 4D40T,50T,60T graphics boards are only supported for version 4.0a
    or later of Unix.  Until the application can run on a later version of
    Unix than 3.2G, the customer will need to use some other graphics card.
    (Maybe you can sell the customer some assistance for getting the TeMIP
    application updated sooner?)
