I was having similar problems with regard to another Tachyon [XL2]based HP card.Lack of Linux support prevented basically a working dual-boot solution (HP-UX vs. Linux) on couple of rx5670 boxes. At that time a nice folk at HP basically told me that: "it could be done, but we are looking for funding one or two consultants". One of the problems involved seems to be documentation on the Tachyon chips. As usual. Another reason (for those liking conspiracy theories) might be market(ing) segmentation by HP. But I'm just being paranoid here :-) Martin PS: have a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpqfc - but I fear it is not very actively maintained :-( ===== ------------------------------------------------------ Martin Knoblauch email: k n o b i AT knobisoft DOT de www: http://www.knobisoft.de
