Re: Debian 3.0r1 CD not booting on B180L

I successfully updated the firmware to v6.1 but my problem was mainly a
internal gfx-card vs. external gfx-card issue. I removed the FX2-card and
successfully installed a woody system (dist-upgraded to Sarge afterwards).

Now I want to ask if it's possible to use a 16bit graphics mode using the
builtin gfx-card (I only got 8bit to work). That would be enough for a
basic desktop.

Or would it be possible to use a "normal" PCI-card for graphics?

On parisc-linux.org I saw that Matrox and Voodoo-Cards are supported - I
have some Matrox Millenium II and Voodoo2-cards lying around here (from the
x86-world) - can I use them or do I need special boards which are designed
for the HPPA hardware?
