Also, it seems to me that you've got two cards in your system. What about a small pciconf ?

Ok, so you [CTRL][ALT][BACKSPACE]-ed Xwindow. If possible, can you try a ssh from another system ? If the system is still responding, you should see it quite immediately. BTW, I had a problem not really dissimilar, except it didn't black out the screen. I had to upgrade Xfree from the provided version of FreeBSD/Alpha 5.2.1 to the latest found on Xfree.org JF On Sun, 30 May 2004, Marco Beishuizen wrote: On stardate Sun, 30 May 2004, the wise Jean-Francois Gobin entered: What did he do when you press [CTRL][ALT][BACKSPACE] ? JF I think that killed xfree as it should but the monitor still remains black with the big warning. The only way to get into the cli again is to reboot the machine.
