Hi All.
There are a few problems with the matrox framebuffer, one of them was mentioned on the list - it locks up the machine if you try to scroll up (shift-pageup) while something is scrolling down. I've noticed a few more, like garbled characters, and screen going blank if you switch to a console running less, and press the up arrow. I thought I could try to fix these, but ran into a problem right away. It is possible to compile the framebuffer as a module, but I have no clue how it can be removed after it's inserted - naturally, rmmod doesn't work as the module is being used by all the consoles. Is there a way to actually remove or reload it, and if not, what's the point of having a framebuffer driver as a module?
