Hello Scott,
could you try applying following patch and tell me whether it helps you?
There is problem in clear_margin() if margin below last physical line
is smaller than bottom visual margin. In this case clear_margin() tries
to clear screen above last memory address. BTW, it should not occur in
matroxfb if you are using "accelerated" access method - did you specify
"fbset -accel false" (or better, you forget to specify -accel true) or
what happen?
Best regards,
Petr Vandrovec
