There are software problems that could cause this message and that are fixed in
the latest Impact gfx patches. Whilst it's possible that actual HW failures of
individual boards could cause the error it would be a huge generalisation to
say that this error is due to some Impact HW bug. Brian - do you have a call
reference for the problem you had BTW ?

If anyone using Impacts hasn't already noted this then please do:

Latest Impact gfx patches:
Irix 6.2, patch 1447
Irix 5.3, patch 1332

There is a known problem with patch 1406. I don't think it's this problem but
you ought to replace that with the latest Xserver patch 1574 and also replace
1333 with 1447.

Cheers
Rob
