Hi,
Alan, Linus, please apply this patch to matroxfb. It fixes complaints
from people that screen is black after they exit from X back to console.
Matrox driver does not know that it should return hardware state back to
initial state after switch, but matroxfb relies on that (XF3 did that...).
So now it reprograms hardware always from scratch...
Thanks,
Petr Vandrovec
