All seems ok. I just notice a small difference with my "Display" definition:
[...]
Section "Screen"
         Identifier      "Default Screen"
         Device          "HPA208LC1024"
         Monitor         "Targa"
         DefaultDepth    8
         SubSection "Display"
                 Depth           1
                 Modes           "1280x1024"
         EndSubSection
EndSection
[...]

you added:
		Virtual		0 0
		ViewPort	0 0

well I don't know exactely what is realy makes and I presume that you 
already test without (commented) those lines?

hmm, i never see such behaviour before but it seems that electronic 
signals emitted by hp system are not compatible with your screen (bad 
cable, adapter?)??
[For my part I also try, here at home with a foreign screen (not hp, i 
mean) but it doesn't work very well (at each reboot I was obliged to fix 
the pdc screen definition but it was working fine with a hp screen), so 
i don't even test XFree more then the time of a login...)]
Before you install Linux, do you have the opportunity to check if it was 
working with hpux X11 hpview or cde?
Or do you have some opportunity to test with a hp screen?
(or the graphical controler is broken?)

Sorry couldn't help you more.

Good luck,
	Joel
