[parisc-linux] x86 on b2000

[mmogenius@v8fiesta.co.uk]

Brilliant i now have X working on my B2000 with the Visuialize-EG Card... 

The way to use the 2nd card is to specify the BusID in the XF86Config-4 file.

BusID      "PCI:1:1:0"

Although I dont seem to be able to get the depth anywhere above 8... Does 
anyone have any thoughs on this. 

Thanks
