Yes, well, I'm still ironing the wrinkles out of the SABLE kernel
code today, and the platform has been EOL for years...
I just ran across the first one to have an original TGA in it, and the
kernel wouldn't display anything on the screen. Now it can, but the X
server doesn't run correctly for some reason.
VGAs are not all problematic; it seems dependent on how much
framebuffer memory is on the card and how much PCI bus resources are
requested for it. I think I've had Matrox Millennium I (one) work fine
under XFree86 4.x.x.
So, I've some patches (and more to work on) that should find their way
into a future 2.4.x kernel, hopefully. If anyone needs them earlier than
that (:-), get in touch with me directly...
