Hi Petr,

Grr. Did not pass through due to DUL blacklist...

What is DUL blacklist ?
If the problem is with my e-mail address (it is an hamradio address), you can use <[email protected]> instead.

Can you try 'video=matrox:init' ? And 'video=matrox:nopan'?

Bingo ! 'init' does not work but 'nopam' give me a normal display without the fbset gimnick.

Thank you for the help.

Next step will be to test dual head. I've already installed an AGP ATI (S3 chipset) together with the PCI matrox Mystique and it seems to work. If I succeed, I will attach a normal VGA display on the ATI board and a 19" IBM (not multisync) on the Matrox. The ATI card is a cheap one with only 4Mb RAM. I've upgraded my Matrox Mystique to 8Mb, so I hope it will work.
Now, I will have a look on how to use XF68_FBDev (if needed).
