Is this *really* text mode? Or does this draw pixels on the screen? :

Can you send /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to the list, please?
Also, we need the output of:
cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes
cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/bits_per_pixel

That's impossible to answer until we know why it isn't working.
BTW, the stifb driver can't change the screen resolution, so what you
have in /etc/XF86Config-4 has to match the current resolution (which
you can change from the PDC "BOOT_ADMIN" prompt). (FWIW, it should be
possible to fix the driver.)

As suggested by Stuart, the content of the file
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 is included below. But the following files are
not in the system
/sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes
/sys/class/graphics/fb0/bits_per_pixel
In fact, there is no directory like /sys.
I would appreciate if Stuart or someone else could provide further help.
