some questions
Hi there,
some questions for you ...
- what will be the minimum memory requirements for linux/HPPA on a 735/99 ? (with and w/o X)
- IMHO there is no usable free X server for linux/HPPA, (for my 735) but i think a have working binary of XFree for hpux10.10 laying around here. If this is true, and the source code is available, is this going to be difficult to port it to linux/HPPA ? (perhaps i'll try it out, some time in future)
- AFAIK is the (first) main target the HP9000/7xx series. I have also a HP9000/800/F10 (8MB) laying around here, which i don't need anymore, so if you want it ... .. there is just the problem of transport
- what filesystems are supported ?
is only nfs supported yet ?
greetings max
PS:
i'm a (poor ;) student of computer science in ratisbon, germany, a i just have 16MB for my 735. Addidional 64MB would cost about 350$ i think. Some sponsors *grin* ?
Or some ideas where i can get some memory real cheap ?
PPS: great work you're doing!

difficult to say. 8MB without X and 16MB with X, at a guess.

cool, I didn't know XFree had been ported to hpux 10.10. In fact, I can't see any mention of it on the XFree site, so this intrigues me quite a lot.

There's quite a few people seem to want support for their Nova servers. They're not _as_ interesting as some of the other machines we have, and will be quite a lot of work to support. There's no documentation currently released on any of the peripherals.

we currently use ext2 out of a ramdisk and nfs. other filesystems should work, including the UFS variant which is in use on some HP drives. the problem is that we don't have any scsi adapters supported yet.

oh, I have some ideas... :-) BTW, where's Ratisbon? None of my german acquaintances know where that is and mapquest has never heard of it.

X11R6.4 compiles on HP-UX (10.20, at least), right out of the box. I ran it on a 715 (or was that a 735?) for a while (for some reason that I can't remember). I seem to recall that I compiled the server from the XFree 3.3.x sources once also. (I really only wanted the XFree xterm.)
Anyway, it works, but it doesn't have any of the fancy color-recovery extensions that the "real" HP-UX X server comes with. It probably also won't work with anything but really old graphics hardware, but it would be worth a try...
