>Description:
	The SRM firmware on the DPWS does not detect or initialize TGA devices.  I have the machine booting from a serial console, after which I attempt to start the X server.  The X server core dumps with a floating point error because the card isn't properly set up.  Here is the dmesg output for the card:

tga0 at pci1 dev 10 function 0: DC21030 step C, board type T8-02
tga0: 8192 x 0, 8bpp, Bt485 RAMDAC
tga0: interrupting at dec 550 irq 28

This ties in quite nicely with the TGA2 work that I'm currently doing.

 The plot thickens.  Jeff just told me that the card is actually a
 ZLXp-E2, not a -E1 as reported.  So, if the card isn't initialized
 the driver doesn't correctly identify it.
