[parisc-linux] video capabilities?

[parisc-linux] video capabilities?

[Nicholas Leippe]

I have a B132L.  I've successfully got X and KDE
running on it, in 8bpp mode.  I was wondering
how I can find out whether it has the hcrx or vg
graphics so I would know whether it was capable
of 24bpp mode?  And if it can do 24bpp, how would
I switch?

Also, for some reason I can't get any sound out of
it.  I can get garbled clicks out of the speaker,
but mpg123 doesn't play recognizably and artsd
fails to start with an error.

I bet you used the 0.9.3, which is good.
Unfortunaly, the Harmony (audio chipset) bug
has only been corrected after. 2 solution:
1) Download the kernel sources from a CVS snapshot:
    ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/cvs
    and compile a new kernel.
2) Ask me to put a kernel in a download place. But please
   remember this will not be an official kernel.

Just  grab the latest kernel from ftp.parisc-linux.org/kernels/32
(iirc); that should work.
