I like the new Xilinx Webpack 8.1i interface under Linux, it works great. I am running the Webpack under Gentoo Linux with a 2.6.14 kernel. The Impact tool works well with the parallel port under Linux. I updated the Gentoo HOWTO-Xilinx at:

with the steps that I took to get everything installed and working properly, including the kernel modules needed to get the parallel port JTAG working.
Take care,

On Suse 10.0 with Kernel 2.6.13-15.7-default, Windriver WD700.tgz didn't compile. Insight UK offers a free download for WD702 after registration:

udev is active on my Suse machine, I didn't have to disable it for windriver to compile, so perhaps with 702 your FAQ needs to be revised with regards to udev.
I hope XILINX will use ppdev for parallel port access sometimes, like libusb could be used for the USB access. This windriver things is a constant source of trouble...
I didn't had to change the DISPLAY variable as I had before up to 7.1. Is setting $DISPLAY to :0 still needed on your setup?

Bye Tom
Modelsim has to be downloaded and licensed seperately.

No, it's a separate download.
The Xilinx edition is only available for Windows.
AFAIK Webpack includes ISE Simulator on both Windows and Linux.
You don't need the DISPLAY :0 for ise project navigator and impact but you still need it for almost all the other progz (PACE, FPGA editor, FloorPlanner etc).
