Well, it's not that easy even for someone who can read C.
First, some bad news:
o x86 version of the card has extra VGA cruft+BIOS.
PA-Risc version uses STI firmware for initialization.
o IIRC, the X11 server (or maybe just gfx card driver?) is a custom,
closed source code. Hopefully I'm wrong and someone will correct me.
o I'll guess that many (most of the?) interesting bits are in the XF86
hpgfx driver module. I'm assuming one exists.
Good news: 3d acceleration for x86 cards uses the same RISC engines
as the parisc cards.
Several years ago I asked someone in the HP gfx group if they
could port the HPUX driver to parisc-linux but our port wasn't
ready then (I think it is now). The gfx driver interacts *alot*
with the rest of the kernel *and* the X11 server.
The above is what I remember from conversations with people.
