Re: X11 on C420



Hi,

I found this, which I'm sure some would have already seen:

http://h20004.www2.hp.com/keeper_rnotes/bsdmatrix/matrix44532.html

There are X drivers from HP for the fx5 and fx10 for linux on the P and X
class (AGP).  Am I wrong in the belief that the only hardware change to
these cards would be the change from PCI to AGP???

What would be involved with taking the AGP drivers ( X and GL ) to getting
them to run on a PCI system... the binaries are in rpm format.

Thanks
Alex
