I've got a Cardinal VGA (500) on a '386 box, and I've tried following the
advice often given here that if you want to use an SVGA card with VPIX
you should simply comment out the VGAROM line of $HOME/vpix/vpix.cnf and
it will use the BIOS in the VGA.  Well, I've tried that under VPIX 1.02.00
with ISC 2.2 and whatever version of VPIX came with ISC 2.0.2, and in both
cases it doesn't work at all.  The screen goes blank and makes an awful
noise (I assume the monitor is trying to sync to something) and I am forced
to kill the VPIX job from another virtual terminal.  Is this just a problem
with my VGA card, or is there something else I've got to do?

Replies via e-mail will be appreciated, but post if you must.

Thanks in advance...
