Is this *really* text mode?  Or does this draw pixels on the screen? :

   dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/fb0 count=200  /dev/null

  Below, I have included the contents of files
 XFree86.0.log and XFree86.8.log.

Can you send /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to the list, please?

Also, we need the output of:

   cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes

   cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/bits_per_pixel

 Is it related to some limitation of the Debian system for HPPA
  hardware or I have not installed the Debian system properly or is it
  a bug?.  If it is a bug, how can I find the package responsible for
  error.

That's impossible to answer until we know why it isn't working.

BTW, the stifb driver can't change the screen resolution, so what you
have in /etc/XF86Config-4 has to match the current resolution (which
you can change from the PDC BOOT_ADMIN prompt).  (FWIW, it should be
possible to fix the driver.)

As suggested by Stuart, the content of the file
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 is included below.  But the following files are
not in the system
/sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes
/sys/class/graphics/fb0/bits_per_pixel
In fact, there is no directory like /sys.
I would appreciate if Stuart or someone else could provide further help.

Dear Debian-HPPA users,

I have recently installed Debian on a HPPA Apollo 715/50 workstation.
 The X server is not working, however, the text mode seems to be OK.
 Below, I have included the contents of files
XFree86.0.log and XFree86.8.log.  Is it related to some limitation
 of the Debian system for HPPA hardware or I have not installed the
 Debian system properly or is it a bug?.  If it is a bug, how can I
 find the package responsible for error.

A response will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Best regards,

Muhammad Asif Soofi
