vid card in X = Fixed, I set "depth = 8", now it works but if I try to set
it to anything else it says "FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid Argument".  So
I'll just leave it at 8.

I'm new to linux so, How do I get the messages to send?? Since the floppy
drive won't work, I would have to transe them to my win 2k pro system via my
network then send them. How would I do this?? I have telnet on both machines
and a telnet server on my win 2k system. Would I be able to transfer the
files through telnet?

As for the HP 9000/720, I have all the Original documentation and Official
HP-UX CD's
I am not very worried about the speaker connector on the back, BUT

The parisc-linux says there is now Full Hil support. I have the 2.4.17
Kernel. How do I update to the Newest Kernel version and configure it and X
for the hil keyboard and mouse?

It has to be set to whatever "fbset" command says it is.
Some of the *supported* graphics chips do work with higher color depth.

cut/paste the dmesg output from the telnet window into an email.
Or redirect dmesg output to a file and rcp/scp the file so
it can be attached or appended to an email.

"apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.25-32" should be the latest 2.4.x kernel.
(or something reasonably close to that)

IIRC, the parisc-linux FAQ has this answer.
