If you are using a WS460c Gen8 workstation blade, edit the xorg.MATROX file.

customize the BusID line in the Device section using the PCI ID you recorded earlier:

# vi /etc/init.d/VID_CHANGE

#!/bin/sh

ln -sf /etc/X11/xorg.ATI /etc/X11/xorg.conf

else

ln -sf /etc/X11/xorg.NVIDIA /etc/X11/xorg.conf

o On Gen8 systems, create a new file with vi:
