you sure that
isn't a PCXGA-AV?
No. It's staring at me right now.
PCXAG-AV
155-0189-20 2360268 RevC
ACCELGRAPHICS INC. (c)1996 FALCON BOARD
I think it's a DEC OEM from AccelGraphics Inc.
4a. What DEC/Compaq video cards for the Alpha
aren't supported by OpenVMS?
PBXGA-JA DEC864
PBXGI-AA PowerStorm 4D40T
PBXGI-AB PowerStorm 4D50T
PBXGI-AD PowerStorm 4D51T
PBXGI-AC PowerStorm 4D60T
Hey! If the above isn't supported by OVMS, then what OS supports these? Tru64?
Especially the high-end PowerStorms...

4D50T is a bit odd. It is a pure GFX accelerator. It has a mezzanine PCI
card stacked on top with a simple VGA chip. The VGA does all video (e.g.
console text mode) until the Xserver with the right drivers is started.
Then the VGA is switched off and the signal from the 4D50T is looped
through to the monitor. It needs two PCI slots because of the VGA
mezzanine PCI card and the large heat sinks on the GFX chips. There are
DIMM slots for texture RAM... I found some GFX benchmarks that showed
that the 4D50T is in par with the SGI SolidIMPACT.

What additional layered product do these high-end PowerStorms need?

I don't know if you need it for basic 2D X11 support, but my
machine
came with a OPEN3D PAK. Sorry, it is over 4 years ago that I instaled
the machine and I can't remember what OS components I installed on it.
