Re: Debian 30r1 on 712/80

It???s entirely possible your graphics device is unsupported (ref. http://parisc-linux.org/hardware/supported.html)

if it is supported, you want to aim X at the frame buffer, /dev/fb,(best have a look, my memory for device names is less then sterling) and use the XF86_Framebuf server (again, have a look, writing from memory). it's best to tweak the frame buffer from the IPL, but if you must FBSET is a runtime tool to change the frame buffer settings.

Good luck
There have been Innumerable people who have helped me. Of course, I've managed to piss most of them off.
