2968.0. "1 server, 1kernel, multiple graphics options?" by FORTSC::WIGEN () Wed Jun 20 1990 18:12

    I was wondering, Can a Server and a kernel be built so that it can support
    multiple graphics processors?  For example on the Decstation 5000 there
    are many graphics card options. Can one server be built such that no matter
    what configuration it is loaded on, with cfb, or 2da, it the server will
    work?
    
    Thanks in advance.

	It is clearly possible, since that is what we do with VMS. Of course it helps that we can dynamically load sharable images that contain the device-specific code. If you mean one server with all identical code which runs every device know to human-kind, I doubt it. Burns
