There are a couple of options to specify on the linux command line.
Turns out palo fills the options in automatically:

That turned out to be the problem - PALO was not 'automagically' adding
the parameters to the kernel command line, although it had done this for
the FX2 card..
I added the 'sti=10/4/3/0 sti_font=VGA8x16 TERM=linux' parameters
manually, and the card is now recognised correctly:
01:05.0 Display controller: Hewlett-Packard Company A4977A Visualize EG
(rev 03)
Flags: 66MHz, medium devsel
Memory at fffffffffa000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M]
Expansion ROM at fffffffff4800000 [disabled] [size=64K]
Kernel driver in use: sti
- and the system boots into text mode, and the stifb module loads
(Kernel 4.19-rc5):
# modprobe stifb
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x64
fb0: stifb 1280x1024-8 frame buffer device, PCI_GRAFFITIX1280, id:

Sadly, there seems - as you mentioned - to be no Xorg support..
Thanks for your help..
