Hi Witold,
Please CC linux-parisc mailing list for help. Folks there know more than I do.
What I do know is normal PCI cards do NOT have the firmware support (aka IODC)
to function as console for PA-RISC. What does work is using a serial console
to setup the machine so X11 can talk to a Matrox card. I'm not sure which
one but I'm pretty sure someone had this working before.
BTW, you've read the parisc graphics-howto?
