Hi Gerrit,

the behavior you observe should have nothing to do with a default value
assumed by ViSTA (the string "vista_display.ini" is not contained in
the kernel sources at all). Could you post the contents of the
vista.ini file you are actually using? Could it be that in there, you
have something like
[SYSTEM]
DISPLAYINI = vista_display.ini ?

Also, please post the relevant code lines from VisaApplication which
parse out of the argv vector and call VistaSystem::Init().

Regards,
Patric
