status of matrox framebuffer drivers.

status of matrox framebuffer drivers.

[crypt]

Hi I was just wondering if there was any work being done to get the
matrox framebuffer drivers updated so that they would compile under the
4.5 series kernels.

They seem to have been broken for a long time.

Joe.

If you read this list you might notice that Petr Vandovec is hard at
work, and a patch for 2.5.69 is available, as was one for 2.5.68, for
2.5.67, etc etc.

ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest/

The patch for 2.5.69 is 2.5.68-c1248, but it applies without
difficulties.

HTH,
