Anyway when I have two reports, one saying that matroxfb does not work on 2.6.11 and another that it does work, I'm lost. As since 2.6.9 or so matroxfb uses only readl()/writel() to access all hardware, without any optimizations, 64bitness of hardware should not matter, only endianness problems should in the drawing code (matroxfb_1bpp_imageblit) - readl & writel should still work same way.


Its not the same card though, one is a G450, and the other a G200. Furthermoe
Tom used a 2.6.11.6 kernel, while Roberto probably used a much earlier
version. Not sure if there are still two different matroxfb in 2.6.11 as they
used to be though ?

There were never two different matroxfbs in any kernel... Also from matroxfb's viewpoint all accelerators between Millennium I and G550 are identical - if you got some picture on screen and your monitor agrees that input signal is what you've specified, then you should observe identical behavior on primary head.

I repeat again, anything older than 2.6.12 is completely uninteresting as 2.6.12 is known to fix problems with character painting on big endian.
