Re: matroxfb.o module
Thanks! It worked. Here is the method I used...
in /etc/modutils/ I made a file named: matroxfb
the information I included in it was:
options matroxfb pixclock=10000 left=170 right=70 upper=21 lower=11
hslen=96 vslen=15 xres=1024 yres=768 depth=24
#options matroxfb vesa=0x1BB
mind you the first 2 lines are suppose to be one long line... didn't
know how double lines would work :)
I then ran the command 'update-modules' and rebooted. Blamo! it
worked. Thanks all for the help on this one Guys.
