RE: Need help with setting up X on a 9000/725/100 : The Solution
Thanks to all who responded and thanks to debian-hppa list member Chuck
Slivkoff, who came up with the solution:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on the kernel messages (dmesg output), there are 2 graphics
adapters, the built-in Artist (8-bit) device and an HCRX24 (24-bit)
device:
STI byte mode ROM at f4000000, hpa=f4000000
STI byte mode ROM, id 2bcb015a-9a02587, conforms to spec rev. 8.04
STI device: HPA4071B
STI word mode ROM at f0024000, hpa=f8000000
STI word mode ROM, id 2b4ded6d-40a00499, conforms to spec rev. 8.04
STI device: HPA208LC1280
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x64
fb0: stifb 1280x1024-32 frame buffer device, id: 2bcb015a, mmio:
0xf4100000
fb1: stifb 1280x1024-8 frame buffer device, id: 2b4ded6d, mmio:
0xf8100000
Modify your XF86Config-4 "Device" entries to match:
Section "Device"
Identifier "HPA4071B"
Driver "fbdev"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "HPA208LC1280"
Driver "fbdev"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
EndSection
Create "Screen" declarations for each:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "HCRX24"
Device "HPA4071B"
Monitor "lcd"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "BuiltIn"
Device "HPA208LC1280"
Monitor "lcd"
DefaultDepth 8
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
Then modify the "ServerLayout" section to a single-screen configuration
using the HCRX24. In theory, you should be able to do a multi-screen
layout using both devices. I've never tried this under PA-Linux, but it
should work.
