In non-accelerated, painfully ugly mode only.

The only other option is to run a remote X display.

And you have here the best argumentation for why it doesn’t make any sense to 
keep running HPPA machines today. Was it really your intent? :)

It’s obvious you don’t run HPPA hardware today « because it makes sense ».
