matrox ported to new framework?

[Nicolas Souchu]

The Matrox fb does not compile on my 2.5.69, I guess its port
to the new fbdev API is not complete. Is a patch in the pipe
for a near release?

Also, I have a AIW (Rage128) 32MB that is neither supported by
2.4.9 nor by 2.5.69. Any hint?

Actually, I have a bunch of boards I'd like to see working:
G450, Matrox MilleniumII, AIW128 32MB, RageMobility, MACH64GX, G200.

Seems ok for Matroxes, but that's all :(

What's the status of HW support? Any rating about happyness of
users?

Not all of the Rage128 PCI ids are in the id table.
Just try adding all of the ones from the kernel
include file. I have yet to find one that didn't work.
I believe the ID for the AGP AIW is missing from the
driver's table.

I have the PCI AIW 1002:5044. Something is strange
with the driver on 2.5.69. It will work if compiled
in, but it won't initialize with a modprobe. There is
probably something wrong in the driver's PCID table
which needs to be updated for 2.5.69.

This is not what I meant. The id is already in the table
but when booting with the framebuffer activated, I get
garbage on the screen.

The detail is:

none1@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x00281002 chip=0x52461002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ATI Technologies'
    device   = 'Rage 128 GL AGP 2x Rage Fury 16/32MB'
    class    = display
    subclass = VGA

I use the driver only wired in the kernel.

You certainly need more inputs to digg. How should I produce debug output?
