Hmm, as I should have noticed, matrox framebuffer is totally UNUSABLE with any 2.6.0-test kernels ;-( Several problems occured, like no picture all, unstable picture, corruption on screen all the times, crashes, etc. Both with G400 and G200. Everything works with 2.4.x kernel though. This is the major point I can't upgrade to 2.6.0 ... Maybe somebody try to port fb layer of 2.4.x to 2.6? I write this because AFAIK in 2.6 there were a major rewrite of framebuffer support 'needed for the embedded industry' (or something similar). As I've noticed, somebody even thinks that framebuffer is only used for 'getting the tux logo'. But I really need it, because of playing video on framebuffer probably with multiple heads, hardware acceleration etc etc etc ...
