Hi Petr,

Quoted 2 lines

It looks like that there is some problem with screen offset computation then. Can you try 'video=matrox:cross4MB' instead of '...:nopan'? I did not

video=matrox:cross4MB works too !

XF4.0.x should work reasonably well. Or you can run accelerated XF on mga:
matroxfb is compatible with accelerated XF 3.3.x, and with accelerated XF 4.0.x WITHOUT enabled DRI (as DRI code reprograms hardware even if X are on background) (and 'Option "UseFBDev"' is required if you are using both heads of G400/G450 with XF4).

I am lost !!
I've XFree86 Version 3.3.6
I've and ATI AGP video card with an S3 chipset and 4Mb plus the Matrox Mystique (PCI) with 8Mb.

I've told the BIOS to boot the AGP first. So I boot normaly with the display on the ATI card. Then the system switches to the matrox (and Framebuffer). At this time, I move manually the display to the Matrox board and all si right (I'm doing this test before doing some cabling / modification on the 19" IBM screen). If I start Xwindows with the SVGA accelerated server then it starts on the ATI card. If I start it with the FBdev server, I get it on the Matrox card. I've read some stuff in Framebuffer-HOWTO but I think I've still some experiment to do.
IFAIK, there is no DRI option for the Mystique ... ??

Best Regards

Jean-Luc

I think XFree86 3.3.6 will support one card at the time, not both, so you won't get
a dual-head server with that version. Upgrade to XFree86 4.0.x.

Hi Linus,
can you apply following patch to 2.4.1-pre10? It does touch matroxfb only:
(1) copyright update for 2001 (hunks 1 & 6)
(2) removing few unused DEVF_* constants (hunks 2 & 3)
(3) changed PPC compatibility code - old code was checking wrong conditional defines (hunk 5)
(4) most important - get it to work on 8MB Mystique (hunk 4)

Thanks,
Petr Vandrovec [email protected]
