matroxfb, anybody?

[Michel Lanners]

Hi there,

Anybody successfull in running matroxfb with recent vger kernels?

I've tried using it alongside controlfb as a second framebuffer, but it
doesn't initialize. Compiled-in, it only goes through the very first
debugging message, and then nothing more;  while as a module insmod
aborts (slightly older matroxfb.c (1.6c)) or hangs the system (most
recent matroxfb.c (1.8)).

I've also tried to compile-in matroxfb without controlfb, but that
failed because offb.c wasn't in (undefined ref to console_getmode et
al.). I'm right now trying a recompile with OF support compiled in, but
no framebuffer driver. Let's see....

Michel
