Re: Matrox framebuffer and kernel 2.6. Anybody ?

I run a setup on my arcade monitor with pure framebuffer (matroxfb) on a
Matrox G400. Console configured in a low-res mode (640x248) framebuffer,
and AdvanceMame uses only framebuffer (with vsync). I have even gotten
grubsplash (a user-space variant of bootsplash) working in 640x248 and
displaying a nice progress-bar both with the monitor vertically and
horizontally mounted. Works fine with matroxfb.

If anyone is interested in some more details about configuring this,
just let me know, and I will try to write it up.
