Shawn

You have a very old iR gfx patch ( 1355 ), I would suggest you upgrade that to
the latest for Onyx iR ( running 6.2 ) to patch 2327 before chasing any gfx
problems, it might not fix it but it does fix lot's of other things. In fact
you ought to get the whole recommended patchset for you machine/OS ( see
www.sgi.com/support, follow link for patches )

Cheers
Rob
