This is true not for just v6.4, but v6.3 also - which is where Damon
discovered the problem.

To all,
It seems that the software upgrade is clearing out the old driver for the
second video card. I will give you a procedure that I came up with to
reinstall it. This is not documented but it works great. I had to figure
it out the hard way.
First, you need to have the model 51D/E preinstall diskette for ver. 6.x.
This disk contains the driver. Once the disk is located, Here is the
procedure:
1. tar tvf /dev/fd0 ***** you should see that there are three
files. pre_install.Z, ia_install, and PGX32.Z
If this is what you
see, move on to step two. Otherwise, you need to locate the right disk.
2. cd /
3. tar xvf /dev/fd0
4. cd /tmp
5. mkdir /opt/pgx32
6. mv PGX32.Z /opt/pgx32
7. cd /opt/pgx32
8. ********** you need to create a file called 'ans'. This is a file
that contains three lines that contain 'y'.
ex: y
y
y
the procedure is as follows:
vi ans
i y <enter>
y <enter>
y <enter>
: wq
after this file is created, move to next step.
9. zcat PGX32.Z |tar xvf -
10. pkgadd -d . TSIgfxdrv TSIgfxOW <ans
The last step (step 10) installs all drivers needed for the second video
card and the line needs to be typed exactly like I have above.
After this, the files in /tmp can be removed.
11. rm /tmp/ia_install
rm /tmp/pre_install
rm /tmp/PGX32.Z
This should correct the problem.
If you need any further assistance, let me know
Damon
