I am in contact with HP to get docs for their ZX1-based systems so that I can add support for them (as I've already done for 460GX-based Itanium1's). Until that happens (I'm hoping in time for 4.3), XFree86 won't officially support such systems. As to int10, the intention is to extend it to deal with other ROM types, such as EFI, OF, etc. That means writting an emulator for each type. That won't happen tomorrow, but...
