matroxfb-full-memory patch if you want to access to 32MB video memory. matroxfb-g400-clock patch if you want to set the graphics and memory clocks to values that give good performance (G400 only). I recommend you grab DirectFB and linux-fusion from cvs. That way you can compile fusion without patching your kernel tree. > What needs to be switched on to get everthing working for framebuffer, matrox > card and TVout ?
