I'm having a slight problem with a Matrox G450 PCI card. It's hosted by an Artis SBC-A3000 (it's like a Sandpoint with an MPC8245). The kernel is a modifed MontaVista 2.4.19-pre8, and there is no keyboard.
My kernel command line includes: console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600 video=matrox:init,vesa:0x105 The card initializes and displays console output, and text redirected to /dev/tty0 also appears. However, after 5 or so minutes, the card apparently goes to sleep. The monitor goes black. Messages from the kernel do wake the display up, however. How can I keep the card from sleeping, if indeed that is what is happening? Incidentally, while searching the linuxppc-embedded archives, I encountered a question regarding "matroxfb: cannot determine memory size." I had the same error, but using "init" in the kernel command line alleviated it. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
