So, I take this as there is no such device, and there must be an add-in
card (maybe AGP, but surely DVI ;-) in my system. How to find out what it is?
My system is not here now and is also not online, sigh...

AGP Slot and internal graphics device are not mutually exclusive, I think.

No (as FredK told us here years ago)

We know that a ATI Wonder 7500 PCI will work (as FredK stated this years ago)
but I didn't know that there is no builtin graphics in the zx6000 (I know,
that in the MP there is a 7000 chip). So, I must fear, that my system has
an AGP card (but which?), and order a 7500 or a MP for my machine, right?

Why do you think, that the status of (USB) mouse and keyboard is related
to the status of a (PCI) graphics adapter?

Anyway, thanks for the fast answer.
