Okay - FTR, enabling PCI and disabling the 'advanced low-level driver
options' allows a clean compile, which happily boots a 715/100 and runs
KDE using the aforementioned XF86Config-4 file.Thanks to all who chipped
in - this gives me hope to get X running on the C180, now that I've got
space to set it up! :-)

BTW, anyone have any feedback on some of the places selling PA-RISC
machines on eBay? Southwest Computer Solutions seems to have a lot of them
at reasonable prices, ditto a few other places, but some seem to have no
idea what these things are and tend to say 'untested-as-is' with a minimum
$200+sh on a C110...
