Rod,

A couple of simple questions:

Are you sure that the graphics card in the C180 is supported?

	you can verify this by running fbset -i as root on the box.

If you have a supported graphics card, then try the following command: 
	dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86


The mailing list archives should have some info on this also.

Thanks,

- Ryan

[parisc-linux] Setting up Xfree86

[Rod Smart]

    I have installed the Debian release onto my HP C-180, installed
without any problems, but I need to setup XFree, I cannot find the usual
configuration programs, even if I try (from memory)

xfree86 --config   (or is it --new)

    Well the option for configuring xfree86.

    I cannot find anything for configuring it.

    Please point me in the correct location.

    I can ssh into and out of the box without a problem, and networking
is happily running.

    I have 768Megs of RAM on board so this I doubt will be an isue.
