Sender: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org Errors-To: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: parisc-linux developers list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Just did a network install using the 0.9.3 full cdrom, and it went very smoothly other than not being able to get the rescue image ( 32 / 64 subdir ) by default. The default net install options were messed up. I just [Q]uit the install and ran DSelect on its own to get it working right, not really a big deal. The 2.4.17 kernel installed by default would not run X, causing the HPMC error. Upgrading to Debian's 2.4.18 kernel fixed this problem and gave me 8 bit color at 1024x768 with the Visualize-EG board. For web surfers looking for help here is the relevant snippet to put in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 # Simple XFree86 Configuration for Visualize-EG STI Framebuffer Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Generic Video Card" Monitor "Generic Monitor" SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "default" EndSubSection EndSection Install Notes: "gpm" doesn't seem to work for me, although I am running a Dexxa Optical Wheel Mouse through a KVM switch. I just set X to "PS/2" and it worked ( but no mouse wheel ). Looks great! I was able to slurp up the whole Debian system via the net with no trouble at all. KDE installed with no problems and runs pretty well on this crate. Just ordered a Visualize-24 graphics board on Ebay which I will plug in and see if it works better than the EG board. See you at Debconf-2! - Doug
