No Graphics Output in pSeries, AIX 5.3

Hi All --

I have an old 7028-6C1 which I'm using to learn AIX. The system didn't include a graphics card, so I connected via the serial port and performed a fresh install of AIX 5L V5.3.

Later, I purchased a GXT135P (2849) graphics card, and added it to the system. When I ran diag, I was able to see the test patterns on the monitor, so I'm sure the card works. However, I've been unable to get normal console output to display on the monitor. I reset the console to LFT, to no effect. Thinking that I was perhaps missing some drivers or libraries, I just blew everything away and did a new install, with the card in place.

After re-installing, I see my graphics card in the device list, as lai0, and its status is "Available." However, I still can't figure out how to get the monitor (or mouse and keyboard) fuctioning as the console. Is there something I need to change in SMS? I feel like I'm probably missing something very basic.

I doubt if it matters, but for what it's worth, my system firmware level is CLT02219, and the Service Processor level is ct020822.

Thanks,
Bruce
