Need help with G400 in cabinet

Hello,

I finally gave up on the Radeon 9250 in my cabinet and grabbed a cheap 
Matrox G400 off of EBay since everyone has said it should *just work*.  
I'm obviously an idiot when it comes to this stuff because I cannot get 
this working.  I verified that I can get a 15khz console by booting from 
the Easycab bootable CD which uses AdvanceVGA.  I compiled the Matrox 
framebuffer into my kernel.  I then tried specifying no Matrox 
framebuffer kernel parameter as well as the following parameters gleaned 
from the mailing list archives:

video=matroxfb:xres:1280,yres:1024,depth:32,left:200,right:48,hslen:184,upper:26,lower:0,vslen:3,pixclock:12714
video=matroxfb:xres:256,yres:240,depth:8,left:32,right:32,hslen:32,upper:16,lower:3,vslen:3,pixclock:180375

In all of these cases, I've been unable to get a readable console in 
order to even attempt to run advcfg and move on to the next steps.  I 
generally just get garbage.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?  I've completely run out of any ideas 
to even try.  If I had the cash, I'd just replace the monitor with a 
D9200 and be done with it, but that is just not an option.

Thanks,
Craig
