X works with the tga driver, but only in 8 bit mode (but that's = not a problem). I also saw that many Gentoo packages are not *supported* for Alpha, but = they build. Is there some place where I can tell when I manage to = compile a package and test it ? Maybe in this list ?

Has been for quite a while. At least it is in other distros like Red Hat and Debian and the support was submitted back to the Xfree maintainers (thanks to Jay Estabrook). > Can I change the graphic board with *ANY* pci card ?

But, you should be able to get your TGA2 going. Jeff D -- gentoo-alpha@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-alpha@gentoo.org mailing list
