STI is a seperate firmware from PDC and IODC. We have to invoke
the initializaton functions from the OS to get it started.
I'm not STI expert though. And we do have public documentation
for STI that you are "encouraged" to read :^)

And sorry, I don't know offhand if any 24bpp graphics cards will work.
Perhaps some are listed in the parisc graphics FAQ or
http://wiki.parisc-linux.org/.
