[parisc-linux] RE: xf86 Config Files for 715/100

Thu, 14 Feb 2002 12:07:21 -0800

Cataldo,

The key to my success was not the config files, but a new kernel and the
right bit depth.  Here is the cookbook I published yesterday:

Hello,
I wanted to document how easy it was to get X and gnome running on a
715/100.  I experienced much pain until  I found the easy process. Here is
what worked for me:
1) Create boot CD from 0.9.3.iso
2) Install from boot CD
3) Choose to install packages over http from debian.org
4) Re-boot and make sure everything is working (X won't work)
5) dselect the latest kernel
6) Re-boot with the latest kernel (Mine is vmlinux-2.4.16-32).
7) Make sure you are using a serial mouse
7) Run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
8) Use all the defaults except for 24 for default bit depth and Auto for
mouse type
This is what worked for me.  X wouldn't work until I dselected to a new
kernel and the mouse wouldn't work  until I attached a serial mouse and
chose Auto.

Hello,

I just installed linux (0.9.3) on my 712/60 and I appreciate if you can help
me by sending me the config file you received.

Best regards,
Cataldo URSO.
