I've managed to get my AGP G400 working in the following setups under 2.6.0 since -test7: with Petr's patch, reverting to 2.4 interfaces: video=matroxfb:vesa:0x1bb gives me a great fbcon. I can either use X's fbdev driver at the same resolution, or the mga driver at any resolution, with no problems. without Petr's patch: video=matroxfb:vesa:0x1bb gives me a great fbcon. I can only use X's fbdev driver at the same resolution; the mga driver at any resolution causes massive console corruption upon switching from X to console and causing any screen changes. Also, I get a large white block underneath the logo on boot. -- nick black "np: nondeterministic polynomial-time the class of dashed hopes and idle dreams." - the complexity zoo
