Hi,
I have set up Matrox Millennum II on B2000 running Linux 2.6.12-rc6-pa1
kernel. Am now trying to set up Matrox Mystique to run on it too.
In my first attempt I compiled the "Matrox acceleration" as MODULE with
"Millennium I/II support" and "Mystique support" compiled into the KERNEL
(they are not "module" selectable). After rebooting, 'matroxfb' was not
loaded automatically. Executed a command "modprobe matroxfb" it returned an
error msg "FATAL: Module matroxfb not found".
Recompiled the second time with "Matrox acceleration", "Millennium I/II
support" and "Mystique support" all compiled into the KERNEL. Rebooted
successfully but the Mystique card was not initialized nor the kernel
crashes as it did running Linux 2.6.8.
The relevant boot msgs are as follows: (3 extra 'printk' s were added to
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_base.h before kernel recompilation so there
are extra outputs)
