Hi,

I have a HP visualize C240 with a FX4 graphics card.  I've mananged to 
install linux parisc but can't get the X windows to work.  Is my graphics 
adapter supported?

The following output is dumped on the screen when I give the xstart command.

Thanks,

Peter Karsmakers

Hi,

the FX? Cards are unsupported at the moment. However, if I understand
correctly, there has been a port for x86 linux at times of kernel
2.2.16. I am not a kernel hacker, but I would like to know if there is a
possibility to port the beta quality  driver from 
http://www.hp.com/workstations/support/software/drivers/linux/video/fxvideo/
to current kernels.

porting the kernel won't help, the X server modules contain all the
important bits. The header file supplied with the kernel sources give
some insides about the FX hardware. But not enough to give an idea
how to setup the framebuffer to a mode, we could use for a simple
framebuffer.

... and they are not open source, right? Damn.

And HP is not violating any versions GPL there? Did they build modules
from scratch?

1. xfree86 does not have a GPL license
2. there have been many precedences for binary-only X drivers.

(I'm not saying this is a good thing, mind you...)
