(please reply on the list) In general x86 video cards do not work because they have bios that need to run x86 code (that's my understanding anyway). this has been discussed several times on the list. there's an additional problem which is that some pa firmware refuses to boot with non-HP gfx cards. Your best bet is to get a PCI Vis-EG card which do work quite well. randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/
