I guess the SRM would support it, if it's the same as the DS20L (my
DS20 was shipped with a PCI permedia II video card, so it works :). 
But I didn't see the keyboard/mouse PS/2 ports in the brochure; so I fear
the SRM can't use anything but serial port as console. This shouldn't
prevent you from using graphics once the kernel is booted though; I use
one of my alphas this way for debug right now.
