Anyway, can you try applying matroxfb-2.5.72.gz from
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest to your tree (you can enable only matroxfb after patching, no other fbdev will work) and retry tests?YES! No more ghost X image, no more white rectangles, no more sudden jump scrolling, and a backspace key that actually works again. Please do consider pushing (some of) this to Linus for inclusion into the 2.6.0.test series!
Impossible. It reverts huge parts of the fbdev API almost completely to the 2.4.x state, and I was already outvoted in that vote couple of times since January.
BTW, with my patch accented characters works correctly only on VT1. I'm not sure how it behaves on Linus tree...
And I'm not saying that there are no bugs in the matroxfb which is in Linus's kernel. But as nobody even answered my question I sent out on monday whether it is correct that FBIOGETCMAP ioctl can overwrite arbitrary kernel memory, I kinda lost an interest in the stock fbdev...
