Ah, Ha! Lots of sti stuff in dmesg output. All positive. Found
everything.
Grabbed a new kernel source from kernel.org and ran make oldconfig. I
think it uses the current running kernel for a starting point.
Looked at the .config file afterwards. No sti frame buffer configured.
Hmm.
More research. Current firmware is 2.1. Latest firmware from HP is 6.1.
And it "fixes" some 3rd party graphics card problems.
As soon as I get a blank tape, I'll upgrade the firmware (scary
process!).
Did the sti framebuffer get compiled into the kernel on the 0.9.3-rc6
iso or am I missing something?
