The default kernels have both CONFIG_FB_STI and CONFIG_FBCON_STI enabled. That's the only driver that is supported. STI does not support all cards. Find out which model card you have and then search the mail archive (http://lists.parisc-linux.org) and/or check the FAQ at www.parisc-linux.org. If you get the penguin in the top left corner of the screen, STI FB driver is working. James previous comment on "match STI framebuffer settings" is a crucial one. Hitting key at power up will let one select different screen resolutions and refresh rates. When parisc-linux boots, the STI driver will print those settings as well. Only those settings are allowed in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. hth, grant
