Claudio, You need to use a "frame buffer" (stifb?) driver - this is all software graphics - no HW acceleration. I used a B2000 as my desktop (running hppa-linux with X) over 10 years ago. Please search the the linux-parisc mailing list archives (see https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page for more info), I'm we've posted details of xorg.config files/etc that worked on B2000. And even if the original parisc-linux.org pages are obsolete, still useful to read so you know what once-upon-a-time worked: http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq/graphics-howto.html cheers, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
