Talking of defaults for matroxfb, would you consider limiting the fv: value default to something reasonable that'll work on all monitors? It took me several recompiles/reboots to get a setting that would not put my monitor into auto-powerdown. If you defaulted to fv:60 then it would work on 99.9% of monitors and then people could override that upwards. I have a Philips 201B 21" monitor and was using append="video=matrox:vesa:400" and this was setting too high a vertical refresh rate for the monitors capabilities. Adding fv:85 lets it work. The card is a Matrox Millennium G200 8MB SDRAM. trevor@trevor4:/usr/src/linux > grep ^C .config|grep FB CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_MATROX=y CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G100=y CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS=y -- Trevor Hemsley, Brighton, UK.
