Hi, Over the weekend I got a Red Hat 6.x (not RHEL!) for Alpha booting under QEMU which was pretty neat. But I failed to find a succesful combination to get X working; has anyone any suggestions?
That distro was from around 2000; the challenge is since we don't have VESA on non-x86, we can't change mode that way, so generic XF86_SVGA doesn't want to play with any of the devices. I also tried the ati device, but the accelerated mach64 driver didn't recognise that ID. Has anyone found any combo that works? I suspect using one of the existing devices, lying about PCI ID, and then turning off all accelerations might have a chance but I've not got that far. [Alpha took a bit of a fight; none of the SCSI controllers were happy, but the CMD646 worked well enough to install off a CD image from a -kernel passed in ] Dave -- Dr. David Alan Gilbert / dgilb...@redhat.com / Manchester, UK
