Hi Joël,
The only way to get XFree86 running on parisc atm is to use the
XFree86-fbgen (framebuffer)
driver in conjunction with the kernel stifb driver. This means, that if you
see the graphical
pengiun (TUX) at bootup on your screen, XFree86 should run. If you don't
see it, you have a
not yet by stifb supported graphic chip in your machine.
Currently stifb will run on most 712 and 715 machines, while B160, B180,
C3000 and most
others won't.
Greetings,
Helge
