I note you are using a custom kernel. Possibly, this is a kernel
config issue. Suggest trying Debian kernel.
The dmesg output might show the problem since the kernel doesn't crash.

Tried with a Debian kernel (4.18.0-1-parisc64-smp), and the result was
the same. Tried the VisEG card with all other PCI cards removed, and
tried in different slots, and the fault was still there. May be a
hardware issue, if this card is supposed to work..

If X doesn't work any more with this card, I might as well stay with the
original HP FX2 card, which works OK in console/text mode..
Very frustrating, as the FireGL-UX card _almost_ works (and userland
Xorg log appears to show correct initialization), apart from the blank
display due to 'lost signal'..
