Re: 2.6-test11 framebuffer Matrox

[Gábor Lénárt]

Hmm, as I should have noticed, matrox framebuffer is totally UNUSABLE
with any 2.6.0-test kernels ;-( Several problems occured, like no
picture all, unstable picture, corruption on screen all the times, crashes,
etc. Both with G400 and G200. Everything works with 2.4.x kernel though.
This is the major point I can't upgrade to 2.6.0 ...
Maybe somebody try to port fb layer of 2.4.x to 2.6? I write this because
AFAIK in 2.6 there were a major rewrite of framebuffer support 'needed
for the embedded industry' (or something similar). As I've noticed,
somebody even thinks that framebuffer is only used for 'getting the
tux logo'. But I really need it, because of playing video on framebuffer
probably with multiple heads, hardware acceleration etc etc etc ...
