It's possible if someone want's to play around with it. I've tested with a normal PCI gfx without any luck. Looks like no signal is sent to the external PCI graphics card. And I don't know if there are any options that has to be changed to activate a external graphics card on SGIs since I don't even get the bootup screen when I power on the computer. Anyone who have had a external _normal_ 32bit PCI card working on R12000? pefo mentioned that he didn't know of support for any external pci graphics on SGIs, (but..) there still might be a workaround. /bkw

Re: SGI O2 R12000 [SOLVED]
It doesnt look like a generic PC PCI-bus(much longer). Will still normal graphics cards fit? I havent tried yet, but in case its a _normal_ PCI-bus I will try this as soon as I get some sparetime. /bkw On 25/03/06, Per Fogelstrvm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Friday 24 March 2006 08.36, David Coppa wrote: On Thu, 2006-03-23 at 22:15 +, Miod Vallat wrote: There is currently no X server support on sgi O2.

Re: SGI O2 R12000 [SOLVED]
YES! I finally made it! OpenBSD/sgi (silikon.lan) (tty00) :) login: # uname -a OpenBSD silikon.lan 3.8 GENERIC#164 sgi here are a few pics of my environment: http://bkw.lindesign.se/gallery/boxes/ I will prolly write a doc just as last time I was playing with diskless on OpenBSD (http://www.openbsdsupport.org/diskless.pdf) for the installation of obsd on SGI O2 R12000. I know there's a INSTALL.sgi, but still a lean R12k specific doc will hopefully help somebody. I agree with whoever who wrote the INSTALL.sgi that the installtion can be _tricky_. btw, I attached a dmesg. my next mission is to get X running on 'silikon'. I haven't found any specific documentation about that at all... thank you pefo making sgi arch supported. /bkw -- ## BKW - Bachman Kharazmi bahkha AT gmail DOT com uin: #24089491 SWEDEN ## [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of dmesg_SGI_O2_R12000]
