- I've had SCO ODT 1.1 up and running TCP/IP over an old WD8003ebt ethernet
- card for the past several months. I tried upgrading to a new WD/SMC 8013
- (Elite16 Combo) card. Now, w/alt-f2 switching from X11R4 to an alternate
- screen causes the display to go blank, w/alt-f1 to go back to X11R4 makes
- the mouse/pointer inaccessible (the pointer doesn't move), and exiting out
- of X11R4 at any time causes the display to go blank. My video controller
- is an ATI Graphics Vantage (Viedo RAM: A0000-BFFFF, Video ROM: C0000-C7FFF,
- Video Ports: 3B0-3DF -- operating in IBM 8154/a mode) and the wd8003ebt is
- fine at IOPORT=0x380, VEC=5, IOBASE=0xD0000 or 0xC8000. However my wd8013
- causes problems when places at the same addresses with mkdev wdn rerun and
- the 8K buffer updated to 16K total length.

- Any suggestions?

- Thanks, AJ
