I've just done a bk pull from linus and build a new kernel (was using post rc2 
before) and now this nice scheme (see above) fails to work:

When I 'startx', the X log complains about no core keyboard, my usb keyboard 
stops responding and both screens go blank. I can only get access by ssh from 
another machine.

Nothing changed other than kernel; using same .config.

If I boot on rivafb console instead of matroxfb, startx and keyboard work 
fine.

Before I start hunting down the problem; Do any recent changes spring to mind?

Thanks

Andrew
