Hi !

I've a matrox mystique with 8Mb RAM.
I've a problem when I use matroxfb instead vesafb.
If I enable CONFIG_FB_VESA, I get the nice logo and all is right for me. If I enable CONFIG_FB_MATROX, the beginning of each line is in the middle of the screen and the cursor position does not match the prompt position. Nevetheless, the screen is 'readable' (no garbage). I've read the files in ../Documentation/fb and the Framebuffer-HOWTO.

This appends with both 2.2.xx and 2.4.x kernels.

Do I missed something ?

Regards
Jean-Luc

Are you sure that you did not enabled both vesafb and matroxfb? They cannot work together. Also, does this happen only in 8bpp mode, or does this happen in other color depths too?
