Where are the matroxfb updates?

[Anuradha Ratnaweera]

I am looking for the matroxfb updates patch that went from -ac to
2.4.21-preX?  Can somebody give me a clue or a pointer?

Easiest is probably doing diff between 2.4.21-pre4 and 2.4.20, and
then taking only changes in include/linux/matroxfb.h,
drivers/video/matrox and drivers/video/Config.in... Though I'm
not sure why you just do not upgrade to 2.4.21-pre4.

You can find older version of these changes at 
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest, but please note
that 2.4.21-pre4 is more uptodate than 2.4.x patches at the URL
above. 2.5.59 patch at URL above is uptodate, but it is not going to
the kernel, because it is incompatible with other fbdev drivers.

-pre3 and -pre4 don't build matroxfb_g450 and matroxfb_crtc2 as modules.
I have FB_MATROX_G450 set to "m", so these modules don't get added to
obj-m.  The "ifeq"s in the Makefile now check only for the value "y" of
this symbol, not for "m".

You did not run 'make oldconfig', did you? G450 cannot be set to module
anymore, either you build core with gX50 support, or without. By default
people use secondary output on g550 and they were complaining that they see
nothing. So you do not have choice to screw up things now.

I did.  (I use make-kpkg on Debian, so it does another superfluous make
oldconfig, too).  But I tried many other variations before looking at
the Makefile and Config.in itself.

Then isn't it then sane to make FB_MATROX_G450 to "bool" and not
"tristate", because selecting "m" does _nothing_ !

> So you do not have choice to screw up things now.

Only for 550 owners, though :-(

BTW, now I _have_ g450 built into the kernel (see signature below) and
both monitors display the same screen.  /dev/fb1 gets registered, and
ttys get moved to it with con2fb, but not to any of the monitors.  Both
monitors still seem to act as /dev/fb0.  The moved tty no longer exist.

Didn't have time to do more research on this.

Thanks.

Oops. See below, Config.in patch disappeared when patch was travelling
from Alan to Marcelo.

Yes, it is...

What about using matroxset to set things up? It was always mandatory to
use matroxset to set fb<->outputs relation, and now just default changed
because of there is more people who want same picture on both outputs
than people who want different outputs... And with introducing DVI support
there was no other sane alternative.

Marcelo,
  Alan missed this chunk when sending you matroxfb updates and I did not
notice. Please apply...

Config.in patch applied.

  # ./matroxset -m 00001111
  # ioctl failed: Device or resource busy

Have tried other variations, too.

  # ls /proc/drivers/mga/
  fb0
  # cat /proc/drivers/mga/fb0/bios
  BIOS:   1.2.21
  Output: 0x00
  TVOut:  no
  PINS:   found

Howerver, fb1 gets registered (yes as the secondary head of fb0).

Got it working.  Sorry about the wrong use of matroxfb.
Here is my /etc/init.d/movefb:

#!/bin/sh

/sbin/matroxset -f /dev/fb1 -m 0
/sbin/matroxset -f /dev/fb0 -m 1
/sbin/matroxset -f /dev/fb1 -m 2

/sbin/con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty6


Thanks, Petr.
