[parisc-linux] C3600 + Xfree86

[Alex Green]

Ok, I'll look at that config file, however if I do "dmesg | grep fb" it
says:

STI PCI Graphics ROM.....xxxxx ,fb at .... xxxxxxxxxxxx (32Mb)
stifb: Unsupported gfx card id 0x35acda30

Will using the X config below make X work?... how do I find the
resolution... using fbset ???, I think it reports that there is no
/dev/fb0... do i need to create this or is this another problem?

Thanks again
Alex
