I tried on my PC with a Matrox-G450 several kernel and boot options.
Every time when the console should work with matrox framebuffer, linux
was crashed. With 2.6.0-test2 and 2.6.0-test2-bk7 I had the following
warning performing ''make modules_install''
WARNING:
/lib/modules/2.6.0-test2[-bk7]/kernel/drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.ko needs unknown symbol matroxfb_enable_irq
This WARNING disapears for 2.6.0-test2-mm5. But also 2.6.0-test2-mm5
does not work with framebuffer. I tested the following combinations of
parameters:

|VGA = 6 | VGA = 775 |
| | |video=matrox:
| | | vesa:0x31C
----------------------------+---------+---------------+---------------
2.4.22-pre6-ac1 | | |

Because I am afraid, that the lines of the table are wrapped by the mail
client, the is alsa attached to this mail. Any hint would very much
appreciated.
