Matroxfb *is* enabled in my kernel. But no chance to use DVI without the binary Hallib. It's still a 2.4.27 kernel, though. And I did experience that blank screen from time to time (not predictable), and powering the panel off did help indeed, but it was very annoying. Finally I was able to workaround that by configuring a second fake screen, IIRC. > me: Is there a chance it gets fixed one day? > => I've got DVI support in the randr-1.2 branch, but it's not in a > releasable state yet > me: No need to report then, just wait > => yes Great to hear someone's working on it! So there's hope. :-) > So, you might want to try enabling matroxfb in your kernel and console. I'll probably try Linux 2.6.18 with matroxfb after upgrading to Etch. > FYI, XRandR 1.2 is new shiny feature that driver developers are > implementing these days, it makes management of multiple heads much > easier and better. So, there might be good news in the future. And thanks for that explanation! I had heard about it, but nothing stuck besides the buzzword. Brice, I'm really impressed by your bug hunting!
