In linux kernel since version 2.6.20 (release Date: 2007-02-04)
STI refers to the HP "Standard Text Interface" which is a set of
BIOS routines contained in a ROM chip in HP PA-RISC based machines.
Enabling this option will implement the linux framebuffer device
using calls to the STI BIOS routines for initialisation.
If you enable this option, you will get a planar framebuffer device
/dev/fb which will work on the most common HP graphic cards of the
NGLE family, including the artist chips (in the 7xx and Bxxx series),
HCRX, HCRX24, CRX, CRX24 and VisEG series.
It is safe to enable this option, so you should probably say "Y".
