powerstorm 4d40t support.
hello,
i've just installed debian on my newly purchased toy - the digital alpha
personal workstation 600au (it just appeared to be the cheapest reasonable
alternative to i386 hardware :)). so, now i have decent hardware and system.
but, after some googling and browsing through various documents, i can see
that there's almost no support for the graphic card i have in that box - quite
impressively looking [1] one: the intergraph powerstorm 4d40t. it's based on
cirrus logic gd5440 chip and i can't find almost any information about running
xfree86 or framebuffer on it. so, could please someone using the same beast
share the wisdom on taming it? :) i'd be very happy to get some reasonable
resolution in both xwindow and on console, at the moment i'm getting mad being
forced to use 80x25 on 19" monitor ;)
m.m.

their quality, they were taken with a bit shaking hands ;)).
