[parisc-linux] XFree86 on B132L using Debian 3.0

[KANIANTHARA,THOMAS-PHILIP (HP-Singapore,ex5)]

>From what I know, there is a hardware limitation on the B132's graphic

I've got a B132L+ and I have to agree that Debian3.0 works really well on
it.

Cheers,
Thomas.

Thank you very much for pointing me to the files.  Both the .joel and
.ggg files worked great!  Do you know if you can run X in 16 or 24 bpp?
8 bpp seems to work just fine, but it would be nice to have at least 16
bpp.

Thanks again,

Mike
