[parisc-linux] pppconfig & 24bit colour

[parisc-linux] pppconfig & 24bit colour

[s-clarob]

2 Quick questions,

1. Is it possible to get the 24bit colour recovery to work with 
PARISC-Linux on a 715/100 ?

2. when running pppconfig, the said 715/100 tries to detect the modem and 
then hangs. It's heartbeat goes out and it dumps some output top the sti ( 
not had a chance to write it down yet ). is there any known issues with 
either pppconfig or the serial drivers in relation to the 715?

Cheers

Rob

The Color Recovery extension is only available in the HP-UX Xserver. No one 
has been able to run the HP-UX Xserver on palinux yet.

I seem to remember a problem with PPP, check the list archive. Updating 
your kernel is probably a good idea too.

Any idea howto:
1) install
2) configure

I would try something to make my b2000 internel fxe running X.

Thanks for advice,

it's probably less work to teach XFree86 how to talk to your gfx card
than it is to get the HPUX X server to run on Linux.

I would prefer also but is there any documentation about this interface?

i meant that it's probably less work to reverse-engineer the interface
and implement it in XFree86 than it is to get the HPUX X server working.

The "Color Recovery" code supposedly dithers the colors in some
special way down to 8bpp and then the hardware somehow restores
them, right?

As far as I can tell from reading the documentation on the web,
it's simply a programmable palette.  This doesn't seem terribly
interesting/hard, so I assume there must be more to it than that.

Hey,

I found on this site <ftp://ftp.cirr.com/pub/hppa/mklinux/>
some patch against X11R6(.3?).

Could that be interesting?

That is I would like to read. But it is already too hard for me to hack 
linux kernel (with kernel sources). So i do not even have the very 
begining of a small idea about how to hack HPUX. Sorry.
