Either go for 2.5.50, or you'll have to wait several weeks. After looking at current kernel interface it looks like that I'll have to write matroxcon to get at least same level of functionality which was available before, and it will definitely take weeks, or maybe months. Current interface just supports only cfb, and only very bad for my needs. And because of matroxfb supports also other modes (such as native text mode, or loading font into accelerator), bye-bye. For now I recommend you either to not upgrade, or use vesafb. Besides that accel_putcs() does not call fb_sync when using font width which is not multiple of 8, and that with fonts greater than 16*16 pixels (I believe that such fonts are still supported...) it will corrupt memory... You can also try to use complete drivers/video, include/video, plus some of drivers/char and include/linux from 2.5.50... You should be able to get working system that way too.
