[PATCH] matroxfb dies when you try to use secondary head in 2.5.x

[PATCH] matroxfb dies when you try to use secondary head in 2.5.x

[Petr Vandrovec]

Hi Linus,
   please apply this to 2.5.20. James introduced bad bug which
causes NULL pointer dereference as soon as you'll try to use
secondary head because of screen_base is not initialized
(it is initialized on wrong head).
				Thanks,
