Matrox Millenium and framebuffer

Hi,

I've a Matrox Millenium card and I want to run the framebuffer. I've set the following configuration :

# Frame-buffer support
#
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set
# CONFIG_FB_CLGEN is not set
# CONFIG_FB_PM2 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_PM3 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_CYBER2000 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set
# CONFIG_FB_VGA16 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_HGA is not set
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
CONFIG_FB_MATROX=y
CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MILLENIUM=y
# CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MYSTIQUE is not set
# CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G450 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G100A is not set
CONFIG_FB_MATROX_PROC=m
# CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD is not set
# CONFIG_FB_ATY is not set
# CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set
# CONFIG_FB_ATY128 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_INTEL is not set
# CONFIG_FB_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_FB_NEOMAGIC is not set
# CONFIG_FB_3DFX is not set
# CONFIG_FB_VOODOO1 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_TRIDENT is not set
# CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL is not set
CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED=y
CONFIG_FBCON_MFB=y
# CONFIG_FBCON_CFB2 is not set
# CONFIG_FBCON_CFB4 is not set
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y
# CONFIG_FBCON_AFB is not set
# CONFIG_FBCON_ILBM is not set
# CONFIG_FBCON_IPLAN2P2 is not set
# CONFIG_FBCON_IPLAN2P4 is not set
# CONFIG_FBCON_IPLAN2P8 is not set
# CONFIG_FBCON_MAC is not set

And I pass the parameter video=matrox to the kernel. I tried video=matrox:vesa=<something> without any success.

Here are the boot lines from dmesg :

If I compile a vesa framebuffer, it works but not accelerated.

My fault : I was testing 2 matrox cards and the one in the box was a mystique...

at a minimum, you'll need to provide "matroxfb" rather than "matrox".
