[directfb-users] Matrox G400 DH Max Framebuffer Kernel 2.6.5



Hello,

I'm having problems with the Matrox G400 DualHead Max adapter getting
frame buffers to work under kernel 2.6.5. The mode seems to be fixed at
640x480.

the kernel command line is:
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.5 root=/dev/hda5 ro splash=silent hdd=ide-scsi
video=matrox:init,vesa:0x31A,mtrr

and the dmesg output is:
matroxfb: Matrox Millennium G400 MAX (AGP) detected
matroxfb: MTRR's turned on
matroxfb: 640x480x8bpp (virtual: 640x65536)
matroxfb: framebuffer at 0xFC000000, mapped to 0xcc805000, size 33554432
fb0: MATROX frame buffer device
fb0: initializing hardware

i2c_adapter i2c-1: master_xfer: with 1 msgs.
i2c_adapter i2c-2: found normal i2c entry for adapter 2, addr
i2c_adapter i2c-2: master_xfer: with 1 msgs.
i2c_adapter i2c-2: client [maven client] registered to adapter
registering 2-001b
i2c_adapter i2c-2: master_xfer: with 2 msgs.


Plus the vesafb doesn't seem to work under 2.4.26 for the same adapter.

The vesafb seems to work fine for the G550 adapters.

Any ideas what could be wrong.

Thanks
Duncan
