The answer is it depends upon the graphics card.  I have a C200+
that I use at work that I have been self-hosting on at work with 
a GSC video card:

5. Coral SGC Graphics (10) at 0xfa000000 [8/4], versions 0x4, 0x0, 0x77

using framebuffers and X.  I also have a C200+ at home with a PCI
video card 

Dec  5 22:11:05 vega kernel: STI device: HPA4552A

in which STI is supported, but not the framebuffer device (ie. 
no X).

Sorry I can't provide much additional advice, that is just
works and does not work for me.

thanks,

- Ryan
