    Managers,

    I am attempting to install Tru64 UNIX V5.1B on an AlphaServer
    2100 5/300 with a Compaq Qvision 1024/E EISA Video controller.
    I boot from the Operating System CD & when it attempts to
    display the graphic interface for installation all I get is a
    small colored block on the screen that moves as I move the
    mouse.

    I have performed this same procedure on an AlphaServer 2000
    4/200 with the same video card & it works just fine.

    I have run ecu from a V1.11A diskette.

    Has anyone else experienced anything like this.

    Thank you,
