Bug#347186: linux-image-2.6.14-2-alpha-generic: garbled Matrox framebuffer



Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.14-7
Severity: important

Sigh, can't get a break with alpha kernel support around here.  After
upgrading to 2.6.14 (from 2.4.27), the Matrox framebuffer no longer works
correctly on my alpha with a Matrox Millenium II.  The matroxfb_base module
loads without error, but gives me corrupt video output only.

Card info from lspci:

0000:00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2164W [Millennium II]

and lspci -n:

0000:00:05.0 0300: 102b:051b

dmesg output:

matroxfb: Matrox Millennium II (PCI) detected
PInS memtype = 0
matroxfb: 640x480x8bpp (virtual: 640x6553)
matroxfb: framebuffer at 0x9000000, mapped to 0xfffffc8809000000, size 4194304
fb0: MATROX frame buffer device
fb0: initializing hardware


Happy to test potential driver fixes, though due to issues with *other*
hardware in this system I didn't test the framebuffer with any previous 2.6
kernels and can't tell you whether it worked with them.

Thanks,
