matroxfb and 2.6.0-test2
Quoted 4 lines · Wakko Warner
I have an old matrox millenium 1 card. does the matrox fb support this card? All I got was a blank screen. fbcon and matroxfb with support for I/II cards compiled in. When I had vga16 compiled in as well, I would get the console if I switched to vt2 and back to vt1.
Yes, it supports Millennium1 too. Are you sure that you built fbcon support into the kernel? And that you have only one fbdev, matroxfb?

From your description it looks to me like that you are using vesafb
together with matroxfb.

Yes. This caused a permenant black screen. fbset did not give me anything usable. Monitor did not go into powersave.

I did, but that caused it to give a blank screen until I changed VTs. I removed both vesafb and vga16 and recompiled to achive the result I stated above.
I'll try 2.6.0-test2 later on today. I did not do a make clean between compiles. When I compile test2, it will be clean, I never patch dirty trees.
