Package: kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686
Version: 2.6.7-2
Severity: normal

When I load the matroxfb_base module, garbage appears on the
console.  The monitor gets valid sync timings, and the system
still works, but I can't see anything until reboot.

Tested on two different machines (both PentiumIII with Intel
BX chipset, so nothing new) with Matrox G200 (8MB) and G400
(32MB) AGP cards, both have always worked very well under 2.4;
X works fine on both machines under both 2.4 and 2.6.

This is my first attempt to upgrade from 2.4 to 2.6 - mostly
successful except matroxfb (have to use text console instead).

Thanks,
Marek
