I hope that I will find the time, but I cant promise anything.

well, sticon has correct colors, but works worse than stifb
(swiching a vt does not redraw the whole screen,
dselect is not usable ...)

Yeah, the STI docs.... HP should release the hardware level
docs, this is the only way to implement a full featured fbdev
driver. A stifb would still be usefull since it is works for
every HP gfxcard with STI BIOS, but a special driver for each
gfxcard would be nice to have things like mode switching.
