RE: Matrox framebuffer and kernel 2.6. Anybody [Solved]

Ok, I'm done now.

Since X11 (accelerated graphics) has been removed,
things are ok. Everything is now back in place. My cab
is running kernel 2.6.12 with matroxfb 15 kHz console
from lilo boot and advancemenu 2.4.11 + advancemame
0.99.

A few comments however :
- with kernel 2.6, video=matrox is now video=matroxfb
- things have changed as far as the mode generation
process is concerned, I have to struggled quite a bit
to get proper modes vsynced. I had to change
display_adjust generate_clocky to generate_y, I don't
know why. This is not related to the kernel version
but to advmame version.

Thanks to everyone for your support

Nicolas
