Hi,

On my system, libggi does an endless loop in
mga_waitidle() (degas/lib/libggi/default/fbdev/mga/2164w/mmio.h), because
reading the status register apparently always returns 0xffffffff. The mmio
address is reported as 0x20000026000, which is somewhat different from the
0x42810000 reported by X (are both of these addresses mapped to the same
physical address, or is something going wrong here?).

I'm running the snapshot from 2000/10/31 on linux 2.2.17 on an Alpha EV6
(UP1000/Nautilus) with a Matrox G400 MAX. API have informed me that my
BIOS currently has some problems with AGP hardware (something appears
not to be initialized correctly), though X works fine (as long as I don't
get anywhere near utah-glx (except for very old versions that don't use
the Warp FIFOs) or dri).

Is there a way to switch off MGA accelleration for the fbdev target?

TIA for any help/explanation!

llap,
 Christoph
