hi i am a hobbyist and have recently purchased an hp c180. i am trying to install debian with the latest net install (nov 6 i think) and i encounter a problem. i can get the cdrom to boot but it hangs when it changes to console. i am assuming what has happened is a redirect to the framebuffer (proper name?) instead of the graphics card that is installed. if so, i will have to wait for the adapter to arrive on monday.
is there a way to identify my graphics card? it does have a 15 pin vga (hpux boots to login screen thru this card, but i do not have a password) and it is located in an ISA (or is it EISA?) slot. any info on hardware identifying would be appreciated so i can dig thru FAQs better. the box is: c180 with 256M memory, 2+G scsi drive, floppy and the above graphics card. i have used linux as primary desktop on intel for several years and have used linux on alpha and sparc too. thanks for any info jeff duncan
