Is your SRX a *really* early version?  I seem to recall a firmware bug that caused
a similar problem, but that was shortly after it came out. (It may have even been 
fixed before the official release, I was an internal customer at the time).

8 bpp was the closest match to the existing R2 cfb code;  full 24 bit support 
would have required some real work.

Maybe not out yet from HP, but on the R2 distribution, it looks like there 
is code there to drive the SRX. (ddx/hp/cfb/ren/*).
