...obviously this is quite a-ways down the road for port-700 series
development, but I was curious -- what are the chances of working torwards
XFree86 support for this series onboard FB?  From my DMESG:

"GIO Graphics" at mainbus0 (type a, sv 85) hpa f8000000 not configured

The user's manual is available at:

But it's very superficial.  I'm having trouble finding info about this IC in
google.  I'll try to get a serial number of the mainboard.  Apparently the
HP-UX X server is based off of X11R5, so support has exists at one point or
another.  X11R6 seems to have support in: xc/programs/Xserver/hw/hp/

Ideas?
