Its a Hyperbowl card (HCRX-24/A4071B). The lazy ***s in the HP graphics hardware group reused the card identifiers! The "init_graph failed" is worrying - that same card with the same id is successfully detected and initialized in my B132L, and I'm pretty sure the same was true in my C180 (kernel 2.6.11-rc1-pa4). > I've also tried to change boot args in palo from sti=8/4 to sti=10/0 > but it didin't worked! That ought to be sti=10/8 according to your dmesg. But as Grant said, it shouldn't strictly be needed as long as there's just the one card in the box. > At Parisc-Linux Hardware Database is reported that Coral SGC Graphics > is supported and the version is the same "0x0,0x4,0x77" > (http://hwdb.parisc-linux.org/view.php? > type=padevice&name=Coral%20SGC%20Graphics) Ignore this - believe me, you don't have a Coral SGC. > Thanks!!! > > P.S.

I guess he hasn't had time. I'm gonna try a couple of tests on the B132L this evening - first thing is to make the Hyperbowl the console and see what happens. -Andy _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
