Re: Weird problem with a G400 - shows only junk through mga_vid

Hello!

When I did see Mikko having the same problems and also having Gentoo, I
tried a vanilla 2.6.12.5 kernel this evening with a very conservative
.config file (remade from scratch, only with network card and sound card
in it).

And... it didn't work... Same memory addresses, same garbage

I guess it must be somehow the chipset (which I will test next with
another board from VIA). I have an Irongate chipset, lspci follows:

0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-751
[Irongate] System Controller (rev 25)
0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-751 [Irongate]
AGP Bridge (rev 01)
0000:00:07.0 ISA bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-756 [Viper]
ISA (rev 01)
0000:00:07.1 IDE interface: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-756 [Viper]
IDE (rev 07)
0000:00:07.3 Bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-756 [Viper] ACPI
(rev 03)
0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. G400/G450
(rev 04)

Mikko - what chipset do you have on your board? Maybe its the Irongate
chipset not able to do those things?
