MXI resman crashes without graphics board under Linux

[ursotor]

We use MXI-2 controller under Linux that works perfectly, but it crashes when we run machine without graphics board (PC for data acquisition).
We use RH 6.1 and no other boards in PC except netork (3COM FastEth).
Error message when trying to run resman is:

National Instruments VXI Resource Manager version 3.0


Resource Manager failed with error code -105:
"Unable to initialize NI-VXI driver.
Unable to open NI-VXI driver window."

We observed similar behavior also with GPIB under Linux - as son as graphics board is out, first simple ibwrt/ibrd command hangs even the whole PC ! and hard reset is necessary.

ursotor,

That sounds very odd that it would only happen when you remove the graphics board. What are the contents of 'proc/pci' before and after you remove the graphics board. This will hopefully shed some light on the situation.

Thanks for the answer - well, after unplugging the VGA adapter (simple ATI Rage 128 series) the memory mapping is of course reconfigured - so please have a look if it looks like "dangerous". Files are attached.

Peter-

Everything looks OK in the files that you attached. How large is your user window size when it is working? I'm wondering if somehow that is causing the erros that you are seeing. I'd also like to see if setting the FOV (factory override) switch changes any of the behavior. That may clue us in on exactly what is going on.
