8-� > > Well well I had the same problem on my HP9000/710 some days ago: in
attachment I will send my own XF86Conf-4 ("data_to_publish") and the one I
found on the parisc-linux.org which was just created for HP9000/712 (great!
that's yours). I recommend to install fbset package, then you type:

8-� > > because you probably have a stifb, otherwise try "grep fb". What you
obtain is the bpp of your own monitor, for istance 1280x960 8bpp.Verify there
is the appropriate line in the file /etc/fb.modes .

8-� > > Well, let's go to the next step: make the system recognize the HIL

8-� > > Another important thing: download the kernel which contains the patch
"-pa5x", it's the latest, I think! so you will be sure that all the devices I
mentioned are recognized. You can easily download only the compiled one
(ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/kernels/32/) or you can compile it by yourself
(very long, here you will find the last version:
http://ftp.parisc-linux.org/cvs/linux-2.4.18-pa59.tar.gz).
