SubjectUpgrading matrox drivers doesn't fix problems with 2.1.115 vesafb
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?
