So I did it and to my great surprise it worked out of the box with stifb (ok, I had to tweak XF86Config a little bit). Right now the gecko (712/80) to my right display a more of less ugly Xserver with two Xterms and vtwm as window manager. That's pretty cool. I've finished merging byte and word mode sti rom handling and will check that in after the checkout is finished (pretty slow connection to pehc at the moment). STIfb still works in word mode (the gecko mentioned above runs the merged code) and I had a working fbcon on the C200 with a HCRX24 yesterday. But there are still problems to solve with the HCRX (colors were wrong, right now it doesn't work anymore). Question: I've found the cfb stuff for HP framebuffers in Xfree, but it doesn't cover the Visualize-EG hardware. Any chance to get docs/code for that beast ? I'd like to show a B180 with X on LinuxTag in Stuttgart :-) Thomas. -- Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessary a good idea. [ Alexander Viro on linux-kernel ]
