No problem Stuart,
If you find a solution, please share with the entire IDV list. I personally
spent several days searching for a solution with no luck. Others have
reported the same problem as well. It's very frustrating. One other option
that I came across was adding a "PCI Riser" to the server. This should
allow you to add a video card which theoretically would allow IDV to work...
not completely sure about that though.
Regards,
Evan

Evan,
Thank you for your quick reply. I am dealing with a Solaris machine and
this may be in important clue.
