Hi,
take a look at your dmesg output. There you find something like:
model 9000/735
CPU(s): 1 x PA7100 (PCX-T) at 125.000000 MHz
STI GSC/PCI graphics driver version 0.9
STI device: HPA1439A
fb0: stifb 1280x1024-32 frame buffer device, id: 26d148ee, mmio: 0xf8100000

So it tells me I have a HP 9000/735/125 with 1280x1024x32 framebuffer...
On http://www.openpa.net/index.html you find descriptions and pictures of HP
700 machines. I also attached my XFree86conf-4, that should work, but you
may have to change color depth.

Greetings,
Yves...

# Please adjust the "depth" and "Modes" entries below in the Screen Section

# EXAMPLE:
# Run the following command on the bash prompt:
#
# dmesg | grep stifb
#
# and my system gives:
# fb0: stifb 1280x1024-8 frame buffer device, id: 2b4ded6d, mmio: 0xf8100000
# so I'm using "Depth 8" and "Modes 1280x1024" below.
