We've got an ALphaStation which was ordered with an ZLXp-E1 (PBXGA-AN)
video card. In the manual there is a note about hardware differences
between ZLX for OSF/1 vs for NT.
What's the scoop there?

Can't switch between NT and Linux/OSF1/VMS with full ZLX support ?
Tell me it ain't so! Anyone know any details ?

Is the 'XGA' in the part number just a computer-generated freudian slip,
or is the ZLX an XGA-clone/variant ?

BTW, is it _too_ premature to start asking about plans for X support for
the ZLX ?

thx, kk
