Re: C180XP and B132L and X

Tomas,

I have no clue about c180 model otc there is no pb to make XFree runing 
on the b132L model.
But there is only one way to implement it (I mean XFree don't supply a 
specific driver): sti-fb which is limited to 8b for the b132 builtin gfx 
(it is well documented on parisc-linux.org FAQ :) )

hth,
