| |
Well, I upgraded my Matrox Mystique (2MB SGRAM) to BIOS v1.8. With vga=ask', I now see some modes that I didn't see before the bios upgrade, but I still have 3 problems:
80x50: As things scroll off the screen, they stop filling the screen, leaving the bottom blank.
"0301": Penguin looks nice, boot messages are nice. However, when switching from X to virtual consoles, monitor makes wierd noises and never gets anywhere. I have to switch back to X.
80x29: The font is set for 80x29, but the kernel seems to think I did 80x43. So, I can't see the bottom lines on the screen.
Is there a reason why this only happens with matrox cards? -BenRI -- http://sdcc13.ucsd.edu/~bredelin
