Folks,

I too have managed to get 0.9.3 ISO image to load and run on my D350 thanks to Stephen Roylance a member of this mailing list.

My question and or problem now is trying to get the console to come up and run X windows on the VGA graphics card that is installed in my D server.

The HP number of the display adapter is A4081-66009, and I have been able to locate it on Google.com as a valid HP part. I have set the firmware console path to the hardware path displayed by the "in io" command (12/10). The system boots, I get the Penguin in the upper left corner of the video display followed by some text. The last message I see on the VGA display is about start the Gnome mgr. The output then reverts back to the serial terminal and I get a login prompt.

I looked at the messages in the dmesg file, and it tells me that it can't find the display. Has anyone else run into the problem? Any help or a push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Dick Holst
