Is anyone running an ATI VGA Wonder card with ESIX 3.2 rev B?

Previouly I was running with a standard monchrome display adapter with no
problems. Now I am trying to run with the ATI adapter in either EGA or VGA
mode with a NEC Multisync 2A GS montior with no luck. The system will boot
but after displaying the "Booting the ENIX System" message the next screen
flashes up then immediately goes blank. The system is running ok, I can
even enter commands from the console keyboard, just no display. Bringing
up VP/IX causes a trashed display. I even tried booting the installation
floppy with the same results.

It appears that the console driver (display?) is not getting the correct
adapter type. Do I need to make a change in the configuration and rebuild
my system or is it possible I have a bad board. Under DOS everything seems
to work properly, at least all the tests that were sent with the board work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please send responses to:
