Lots of sti stuff in dmesg output. All positive. Found everything.=20 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.=20 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? On Tue, 2001-12-11 at 03:50, Helge Deller wrote: > On Tuesday 11 December 2001 03:55, James P.
