suspect either it doesn't like the default init values, or something is
not quite right when setting up the glob_cfg. As I understand it, we set
up the glob_cfg structures with nothing but the region pointers, and
then call init_graph to set up the rest of the context which is

Hi folks,
Here's a datapoint with 2.6.15-rc5-pa1 on a B132L
Linux version 2.6.15-rc5-pa1 (root@weasel) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Gentoo Linux
3.3.5-r1, pie-8.7.7)) #1 Wed Dec 7 23:02:54 CET 2005
Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda2 sti=8/8 stifb=bpp:0 console=tty0
sti_font=VGA8x16 palo_kernel=2/boot/vmlinux
Found devices:
15. Coral SGC Graphics at 0xf4000000 [8/8] { 10, 0x0, 0x004, 0x00077 } 16.
Gecko GSC Core Graphics at 0xf8000000 [8/24] { 10, 0x0, 0x016, 0x00085 },

STI GSC/PCI core graphics driver Version 0.9a
id 2bcb015a-9a02587, conforms to spec rev. 8.04

graphics card name: INTERNAL_EG_1280
sticon: Initializing STI text console.
Console: switching to colour STI console 160x64

Note that the A4071B/HCRX24 gets detected just fine. Its set in PDC as
the console path, and also via the sti=8/8 parameter.
Nothing crashes, but the console is unusable. Most of the output is
black on black, though I get bits of text in magenta, yellow and green
depending on the intended colour. Tux has a bright green background and
is otherwise pretty psychedelic. Back to Vis-EG for the time being.
As far as A4071B on C-Class goes, my company ran 50-60 C110's with that
card and never had any trouble (HP-UX 10.20). I'm pretty sure I've had
one in my C180 and it behaved exactly as it does in the B132L. If I get
time I'll check tonight. C180 and C200 are basically the same Raven
architecture, so if there's a general problem with initializing the card
on Ravens it should show up.
Fabio: have you got the latest firmware on that C200? (apologies if you've
already mentioned that before.)
