On the older machines the kernel's framebuffer driver is used for X.
I've had excellent results on a 735 and a 720.
The first test is to boot a recent kernel (precompiled from CVS area);
do you see a Penguin? Kernel -pa55 supports a variety of HP video cards
and should automatically come up in framebuffer mode if it supports your
particular card. I have video cards crx24 aqnd crx running well with X.
The Penguin is a good luck charm. Presuming that, you may be able to
get X to start right off, or with minor editing of the
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file to match the resolution, monitor, mouse, and
keyboard settings to what you actually have.
