X WIndows on HP9000 720 or 735
I am using 2 HP9000 WOrkstatiosn at home. One HP900/720 system with CRX8 graphic card and and a HP9000/735 with CRX48Z graphics system.
I would like to know if anyone has succeeded in running X Windows for PARISC Linux on one of those machines?
By the way: How das the x-windows for PARISC Linux work. Does it access the graphics card via the framebuffer device or directly?

If you want X, you need the framebuffer device. That's our only way for the moment.
Good Luck, Thomas.

not yet. There is some code for these boards in the kernel, but it's disabled by default. I'm waiting for hardware to verify the code is working or if it isn't to fix it.

via a framebuffer device.

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessary a good idea. [ Alexander Viro on linux-kernel ]
