I apologize for intruding upon you, but I have a C240 with a A4450A (GSC) card and I couldn't make it work. I was even under the impression that only the PCI version of it is supported (as I read in some e-mails). I used the 3.0 CDs. It would be highly appreciated if you could tell me what are the steps to make it work under X, as now it only works for me if I connect to the C240 over a serial port. I apologize again if you've already answered that before, but I couldn't find much documentation out there to tell me exactly what to do. People talk abot different kernel versions and things like that but a "how to" kind of document would be very, very helpful and I think would make more people try Debian on PA-RISC boxes. Thank you very much and apologie again for bothering you. Best regards, Adrian > You will need one of the following cards: A4977A (PCI), A4450A (GSC), or > A4451A (GSC dual head).
