I imagine PPW is something like

#define PPW (BITS_PER_WORD/BITS_PER_PIXEL)

and BITS_PER_PIXEL is zero.  Remeber, a #define is (loosely speaking) a
textual replacement; "#define A (B/C)" does not perform the division
until A is used in a context where it has to be evaluated...like the
#if that's puzzling you.

Maaaybe.

If I were handed this job, I would proceed as follows:

- Figure out how to memory-map the framebuffer.
- Figure out how to turn keystrokes and mouse events into something
   comprehensible.  This probably means stealing chunks of code from
   elsewhere, such as the kernel keyboard handler.
- Take a Sun server (sparc or sun3, not much difference).  (Why Sun?
   Simply because that's the one I know best, so it would be the
   easiest one for me to figure out what each piece of the code does.)
   Clone it into a new ddx tree.  Rip out all the hardware interface
   stuff and shove in code from the first two steps.
- Debug. :-)

That's basically what I did, years ago, when I ported X11R4 to the
NeXT.  In the HP case, based on conversations with people who ought to
know, the second step is probably the part I would find the hardest.

In particular, I wouldn't start step 3 until steps 1 and 2 have been
completed.  If you're lucky, you may be able to get a leg up with steps
1 and 2 from the old Xhpbsd code.
