It is not necessary to re-build the firmware (according to Justin).
Disable that option and try to rebuild again.

 Unlikely since the problem is the fact that the scsi firmware assembler wants

Yes. It does not matter what kernel you are running. What's important is
that you configure your sources. Configure your kernel for SMP and do a
'make dep', then compile your module.

Re: Matrox G400 Dualhead

2001-05-28 Thread Rafael Herrera

The problem reported here before was switching from X to the console.
The video signal would be lost and the computer would hang.

The responses pointed out the it was the switch of video modes; XFree
would change the internals of the video controller which the frame
buffer could not cope with. You were part of the discussion. The matrox
drivers have not changed since april, so its interactions with the frame
buffer may be still buggy.

Re: Hard lockup switching to X from vc; Matrox G400 AGP

2001-05-27 Thread Rafael Herrera

I experienced lost of the signal when switching from X to the console
when booting with vga=ext or some of the graphic modes. It was reported
here that the problem was the Matrox drivers.

Recently, with kernel 2.4.4+ and XFree 4.0.3 (@1280x1024/head)+ Matrox
drivers (http://matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/files/linux_06.cfm) and
booting with vga=794 (1280x1024) I have not had problems. I've a G450.

Re: Matrox G400 Dualhead

2001-05-27 Thread Rafael Herrera

It would help if you reported which version of kernel and XF86 you are
using. I had problems using the framebuffer in the console awhile back.

Currently, running 2.4.4+ and XFree86 4.0.3 + Matrox's drivers
(http://matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/files/linux_06.cfm) give me no
problem.

I don't run the frame buffer for X for dual head.

Re: write to dvd ram

2001-05-22 Thread Rafael Herrera

I tried to give you some pointers in a personal email. So it's not true
you didn't receive any response. Also reminded you of the best place to
look for info, namely, that driver's mailing list. You don't seem to
have made any additional attempts at resolving it yourself since you
reposted your original message. Get newer kernel sources, read the
driver's documentation more thoroughly.
