I wish I could make a more complete bug report on this one, but
the nature of the bug prevents me from gathering more informationI'm using XFree86 4.3.0, and this bug has reared its head with every recent build of the mga drivers I have tried. I'm currently using kernel 2.4.22, and when using the kernel module that is built by the install.sh script, version 3.1.0, whenever I attempt to switch to a text console after entering X, the system hard locks. I cannot get to a console, I cannot log in via ssh, and I cannot use the magic sysrq functions. I have a Matrox G550. Workaround for this bug: use the new drivers, but the older (3.0.2) kernel module from the vanilla kernel sources. This is the first concern. Second concern. With any build of the drivers, certain applications and games when in hardware accellerated mode will not display the mouse cursor. Two games that readily come to mind are Unreal Tournament and Soldier of Fortune. Could this be an SDL bug rather than a bug with the matrox drivers? I suspect it's a matrox issue, as I've seen those games work with other video card drivers just fine. I am also unsure at this time how to get more information on this bug. Third concern. Using XFree86 4.3.0 I have been unable to use any of the mga driver builds more recent than 09/12/2003, due to the fact that from the 13th on, X dumps me out with an ABI minor version number mismatch error. I am not on the list, and would appreciate a CC of any replies. Thank you for your time. -- Malcolm D.
