Help wanted: Getting Matrox Mystique to run on HPPA B2000

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)
