After 3+ months of waiting, my CyberVision 64 card arrived yesterday.
I've installed it in my 3000/25.  When I boot up now, all I ever see
is the "CyberGraphX" logo in full color in the middle of my screen.
It seems like the system finishes booting (all the right noises and
hard drive light flashes occur for the right amount of time), but
there is never a workbench display shown.

I have connected the pass-thru cable supplied between the 31KHz
output of the Amiga deinterlacer and the input port of the CV64 card,
then connected my vanilla SVGA monitor to the output port on the
card.  If I move the CyberVision monitor file from devs/monitors so
it can't be found, I still get my usual output to the screen from the
Amiga, as I should.  I've reinstalled the software (it REQUIRES
Multiview, it seems), and picked a monitor setup with a scan rate at
or less than the max my monitor can do.

This has to be something simple.  What have I missed?

Also, I didn't see anything in the manual that explained the RAM
setup on the board.  I'm assuming that the 4 soldered-in chips
comprise the first 2MB, and the sockets next to them are for the 2nd
2MB.  If so, I'm in trouble because I ordered the 4MB version and
the sockets are empty.  Thanks for any assistance.
