Hi, Over the weekend I got a Red Hat 6.x (not RHEL!) for Alpha booting under QEMU which was pretty neat. But I failed to find a succesful combination to get X working; has anyone any suggestions? That distro was from around 2000; the challenge is since we don't have VESA on non-x86, we can't change mode that way, so generic XF86_SVGA doesn't want to play with any of the devices. I also tried the ati device, but the accelerated mach64 driver didn't recognise that ID. Has anyone found any combo that works?
Not sure if it is of any help, but IIRC the advent calendar image #4 from the 2014 edition also uses an ancient Red Hat image with X, and it still seems to be working with recent versions of QEMU:
