I mean Xorg usage. I'm not sure if it makes much sense to use a PA-RISC machine as desktop machine nowadays. Every Intel-based machine is faster, cheaper, better supported (graphic cards) and uses less power... > I'd like to use native option of my machine (FireGL X1/X3 > in C8000), but it's currently broken (no DRM and software > accel is incredibly slow plus colors in 24bpp mode are wrong), > so i'm looking for the alternatives. For all other parisc machines we have the stifb driver which supports the built-in graphic cards like Visualize-EG. Visualize-FX cards are not supported and probably will never be supported. The only other card I used once (at least I tested it shortly) was a Vodoo 2 card. Sadly it only supported 800x600 with 16bit if I remember correctly. I tried a Matrox PCI once too, but I think it had some issues. So, I still hope we can get the FireGL supported fully soon... Helge
