On the older machines the kernel's framebuffer driver is used for X. I've had excellent results on a 735 and a 720. The first test is to boot a recent kernel (precompiled from CVS area); do you see a Penguin? Kernel -pa55 supports a variety of HP video cards and should automatically come up in framebuffer mode if it supports your particular card. I have video cards crx24 aqnd crx running well with X. The Penguin is a good luck charm. Presuming that, you may be able to get X to start right off, or with minor editing of the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file to match the resolution, monitor, mouse, and keyboard settings to what you actually have. -- SP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
