[parisc-linux] C3600 + Xfree86

Hi All,

Well I've just got my C3600 booting, however I have a problem with my fxe5.  Even with X configured for the fb device, the start log for X reports "unknown device".

Can anyone help, do I need to do something special to get X running. I'm used the STI kernel patch netinst image.

Thnaks in advance.
Alex

Do you try to use XF86Config-4 from ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/XFree86/

Just pay attention that the actual resolution of your screen (at boot 
prompt you should find a menu which can give you this info) must match 
the 'Mode ...' you set in 'SubSection "Display"' for the rest it should 
works.

Good luck,

Ok, I'll look at that config file, however if I do "dmesg | grep fb" it
says:

STI PCI Graphics ROM.....xxxxx ,fb at .... xxxxxxxxxxxx (32Mb)
stifb: Unsupported gfx card id 0x35acda30

Will using the X config below make X work?... how do I find the
resolution... using fbset ???, I think it reports that there is no
/dev/fb0... do i need to create this or is this another problem?

Thanks again
Alex

Or may be (better?) in ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/kernels/b180/: 
XF86Config-4.joel or XF86Config-4.ggg

unfortunately, hp have not released programming docs on the fxe, fx5 or fx10
yet.  so we don't know how to drive it.
