  You don't need an option; it should just be there.  Did you use the
C-1050 setting when booting?  What exact problem are you seeing?

  It uses an Epson chip that is also found in an Arm core.  IIRC and last
time I checked (a couple of years ago) there was only a stub driver in an
arm port but no suspend support.  The datasheet is available from Epson.

  tpctl.

  IIRC, I used the windows key for a modifier and Ctl-Alt-N instead of
Ctrl-Alt-FnN since the keyboard seems unable to generate the Ctl-Alt-Fn
sequences.  It may have had trouble with some Ctl-Alt-N sequences too; at
least screen 4 worked.  The hpcmips keyboard filter works better than CE,
which produces quite a few garbage characters when using multiple keys.
