[parisc-linux] Debian 3.0r0 Hppa on an B132L

[Arne H. Poulsen]

Hellow!!!.

Gentlemen
I am new to this, but I have managed to install the system with the linux
2.4.18-pa32 kernel and it seems to be working; nevertheless It is impossible
to get the graphical
system to work.
Do I have to install the HIL keyboard and mouse??.
It is working with the PS/2 keyboard.
According to the xserverlog the system is unable to find the screen and the
graphical
interfase card and therefore It is not configured.
I have done which were specified in the HOWTO regarding the XF86Config-4
file,
but still I get the same answer.
The graphical interfase seems to be a part of the motherboard and I think It
is EG_something??
Are there any who has a good explanation???.
Thanks in advance.
Arne H.

No (there are kbd and mouse of ps2 model)

Which HOWTO?

If you already installed a XF86Config-4 which you can find on 
ftp.parisc-linux.org, check first if your graphic card is the buildin 
one. Then check if the default "Display Mode" match well the setup of 
your console (you can check at bootprompt> console) [on hppa the FB 
driver doesn't allow switching]

Good luck,
	Joel

Hmm...Works For Me (tm). Try the kernels/config files on
	ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/kernels/b180

They should work the same if you are using the B132L built-in graphics.
