Bug#605716: matroxfb causes corruption in virtual consoles



tag 605716 - squeeze
thanks

Hi Manuel,

no need for a squeeze tag, we have version tracking, which will do the
job.

the best thing you could do is filing a bug upstream, although I'm not
sure -mga is maintained anyway. To do so:
  http://bugs.freedesktop.org/

It'd be nice to give us the bug number or the bug URL so that we can
track the upstream bug.

Mraw,
