stifb works well in text console application, and it works well in links2 directly frambuffer graphic application (very fast)
Unfortunatly it works bad in Xorg-x11, i read the documentation, i did, X11 starts, but the monitor area is splitted into 2 parts

The Frame Buffer Device
-----------------------
4. The X Server
---------------
The X server (XF68_FBDev) is the most notable application program for the frame
buffer device. Starting with XFree86 release 3.2, the X server is part of
XFree86 and has 2 modes:
- If the `Display' subsection for the `fbdev' driver in the /etc/XF86Config
file contains a
Modes "default"
line, the X server will use the scheme discussed above, i.e. it will start
up in the resolution determined by /dev/fb0 (or $FRAMEBUFFER, if set). You
still have to specify the color depth (using the Depth keyword) and virtual
resolution (using the Virtual keyword) though. This is the default for the
configuration file supplied with XFree86. It's the most simple
configuration, but it has some limitations.
- Therefore it's also possible to specify resolutions in the /etc/XF86Config
file. This allows for on-the-fly resolution switching while retaining the
same virtual desktop size. The frame buffer device that's used is still
/dev/fb0current (or $FRAMEBUFFER), but the available resolutions are
defined by /etc/XF86Config now. The disadvantage is that you have to
specify the timings in a different format (but `fbset -x' may help).
To tune a video mode, you can use fbset or xvidtune. Note that xvidtune doesn't
work 100% with XF68_FBDev: the reported clock values are always incorrect.

i know for PPC there is a nice tool: Xorgautoconfig
Description:
Xorgautconfig generates xorg.conf files for PPC based computers.
Support:
- alpha=no
- amd64=no
- arm =no
- hppa =no
- ia64 =no
- mips =no
- ppc =yes
- ppc64 =yes
- ppc macos =no
- s390 =no
- sparc =no
- sparc =no
- fbsd =no
- x86 =no
- x86 fbsd=no
it solves a lot of troubles with apple-powerbook-G3 (based on ATI-mach64)
do you know something similar for HPPA STI ? |

well... I don't know anything about hppa, but there is a superior version of Xorgautoconfig which is named xac. This could work on hppa, too. You could give it a try.

There is a known problem in the fbdev X driver in combination with the stifb kernel driver. I don't know the exact details, but stating
| Code: | | Option "ShadowFB" "0" |
in the graphics card section of the xorg(.conf) helps. |

thank you, it is working (i report the full /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I'd like to investigate about the kernel driver conflict

I read about it on IRC when having the problem myself, or being more precisely, after one of the last upgrades or XOrg, I had the similar problem and asked on #gentoo-hppa on the freenode network and some helpful developers helped me.
The problem is AFAIR that either the stifb driver does not support ShadowFB at all or this support is broken, whereas in the latest versions of XORg X assumes that this support is present. I also don't know whether X asks the driver it it provides that functionality at all or if the driver provides the wrong answer to this question. |

addition to above mentioned Problem
I am using a HPPA Bl132. Due to a GLSA issue I had update the Xserver and encountered similar problems.
Trying Xorg-X 7.1 which does not work I switched to 7.2 which does not work ether...
I think it is a bit strange from point of QA to give the X7.1 a "stable" on HPPA when it does not work with STIFB devices which are the only X capable cards in this architecture. 
I am afraid this leaves a nicely running machine now without any X and therefore crippled.... 
Next to try is to go back to an older Version of X. They might be less secure but work at all.....

gosh it's' terrible, i know ...
... it happens to my powerbook G3 with ati-mach64, but fortunately there is an autoconfig app (only for ppc) that is able to fix the problem reconfiguring /etc/X11/xorg.conf
i don't really know about your hppa machine, here i use 712 as xterminal, and hppa-C3600 as remote server. Fortunately this one has a PCI bus where i can plug a matrox millennium1/2 that could make me use is as X11-workstation
... but i want to tell you a secret of mine: troubles have taught me i am better to backup, so, as soon as i have a stable working system, i run use this (stupid) script, then i burn a cd/dvd
