I am using 2 HP9000 WOrkstatiosn at home. One HP900/720 system with CRX8
graphic card and
and a HP9000/735 with CRX48Z graphics system.
I would like to know if anyone has succeeded in running X Windows for
PARISC Linux on
one of those machines?
By the way: How das the x-windows for PARISC Linux work. Does it access
the graphics card
via the framebuffer device or directly?
Sven

Yes, some people did succed to get X running on these machines. Look at
http://mkhppa1.esiee.fr/list.html
If you have trouble, try to contact them directly.

If you want X, you need the framebuffer device. That's our only way for
the moment.
Good Luck, Thomas.

not yet. There is some code for these boards in the kernel, but it's disabled
by default. I'm waiting for hardware to verify the code is working or if it
isn't to fix it.

via a framebuffer device.

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessary a
good idea. [ Alexander Viro on linux-kernel ]
