I've got it running on version 2.1.127 - I haven't tried on anything more
recent. What kernel version are you running.

Pass, have you asked Petr (Petr Vandrovec <VANDROVE at vc.cvut.cz>) about
this. I've been testing Petr's driver on a Mystique and haven't seen
anything like this.

Generally I've compiled in matroxfb, controlfb and offb into the kernel
which compile and run without any problems. I haven't tried leaving
controlfb out.
