HP9000 C200 Visualize-EG XFree86 Success!
Just did a network install using the 0.9.3 full cdrom, and it went very smoothly other than not being able to get the rescue image ( 32 / 64 subdir ) by default. The default net install options were messed up. I just [Q]uit the install and ran DSelect on its own to get it working right, not really a big deal.
The 2.4.17 kernel installed by default would not run X, causing the HPMC error. Upgrading to Debian's 2.4.18 kernel fixed this problem and gave me 8 bit color at 1024x768 with the Visualize-EG board. For web surfers looking for help here is the relevant snippet to put in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
# Simple XFree86 Configuration for Visualize-EG STI Framebuffer

Install Notes: "gpm" doesn't seem to work for me, although I am running a Dexxa Optical Wheel Mouse through a KVM switch. I just set X to "PS/2" and it worked ( but no mouse wheel ).
Looks great! I was able to slurp up the whole Debian system via the net with no trouble at all. KDE installed with no problems and runs pretty well on this crate.
Just ordered a Visualize-24 graphics board on Ebay which I will plug in and see if it works better than the EG board.
See you at Debconf-2!

Try ImPS/2 or ExplorerPS/2 instead and add a line
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Sorry to disappoint you, but just the Visualize-EG is supported for now!

On my 712-60, I've had to call my mouse "ps2fu" in gpm.conf but enabling th= e
same repeater didn't get X to use it. Anyhow, the problem with fups2 is th= at
every time I exit Gnome and X is restarted by gdm, the mouse in X no longer works so I have to ctrl-alt-back kill X to reinitialize the mouse again.
Meanwhile, that same fups2 driver seems to work as expected on consoles and never caused me any problem.

There may be problems, if you run gpm while running X. You can try to swi= tch of
gpm when running X. =
Another possibility is to use the gpm repeater for X as well. =
Try to change your X11 mouse configuration to the following one, and make=
sure
gpm runs while using X.

But since gdm is one of the first things I remove, it doesn't bother me.
