One of the HP 300-series machines we use here (Illinois) has a Gatorbox
(98700) graphics accelerator.  I'd like to get X11 running on it, but the
default HP server does not support this display hardware -- the server
gives out an error message to that effect and dies.

My questions:

1.  Is there a set of extensions to the Hp server that will support gatorbox

OR

2.  Is there a way I can con the server into thinking that the gatorbox is
a regular display

OR

3.  Are there some settings for the gatorbox which will make it behave just
like a regular display (including telling the server that it is such a display)

any help much appreciated...
