Did you boot with 'video=scrollback:0' ? You must ;-)

rev < 128 => G400, rev >= 128 => G450. Ask Matrox why they did so stupid
thing.

Secondary output on G400 is in monitor mode by default. Are you sure
that you
insmodded all needed modules to kernel? i2c-matrox, matroxfb_maven,
matroxfb_crtc2, ...
If you do not know which ones, just build everything into kernel - and
do not forget
about i2c bit-banging as documented in documentation...

You need additional patches for NFS serving from Reiserfs

The G450 and G400 use the same PCI identity, and different subids. So that
is expected behaviour rather than a bug

2.4.3 SMP: nfs stale handle, fb dualhead hardlock, G400/450 misnaming

2001-04-03 Thread Elmer Joandi


1. stale NFS file handle
2.4.2-ac28 serving nfs3 from reiserfs
2.4.3 being nfs3 client,
nfs damn slow on 100Mbps p2p link.
mounted nfs  with rsize=8192,wsize=8192
nfs fast.
soon got :
bash-2.04$ls
ls .: stale NFS file handle
just about home directory it says so.

2. Hard lockup:
G450, I set con2fb, switch consoles some times and there it comes.
swithc between X and single console is OK.

3. seems that I have G450 and linux shows it as G400. 
bash-2.04$ /sbin/lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 82) 
 
/proc/pci:
 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 130).
/sbin/lspci -n
01:00.0 Class 0300: 102b:0525 (rev 82)

at least when I finally, after a longlong braindamage, started
using G450 stuff everywhere, it become more and more usable.
for dual fb X it is stable and usable now.

G400 drivers also work, but matroxset aint switching second head
to monitor output, neither does anything else. It remains blank.

elmer.
