Visualize J5000 and EG Graphics card

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I am trying to get X windows working on a Visualize J5000 with an EG Graphics card. The kernel recognises the card and dmesg | grep fb shows that a framebuffer has been activated but when I try to run X I get an HPMC error. Is this a known problem? If so how can I fix it.

Details:-

uname -a: Linux dougal 2.6.8-1-64-smp #1 SMP Tue Nov 2 13:37:53 MST 2004 parisc64 GNU/Linux

Appropriate part of /proc/pci:-

~ Bus 4, device 7, function 0:
~ Display controller: Hewlett-Packard Company A4977A Visualize EG
(rev 3).
~ Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfffffffffa000000
[0xfffffffffbffffff].

and my XF86Config-4 file is attached.

Thanks for all your help

Yes, known problem. I ran into a few monthes back.
64-bit kernel isn't F-extending an address someplace. We've had this problem before and I don't know when it crept back in. Either use 32-bit kernel or start hunting down the life span of the frame buffer address. Maybe start with the STI FB drivers.

thanks,
grant
