That disables hardware acceleration. If you want acceleration I should be 
able to fix the driver if you give me the information I requested.

With matroxfb you use something like video=matroxfb:vesa:0x117,fv:72. 
That's from my kernel command line and it will give you 1024x768 16bpp 
72Hz. With most other fbdev drivers you would pass 
video=<somefb>:[EMAIL PROTECTED] but matroxfb is quite different. Just read 
kernel_source>/Documentation/fb/matroxfb.txt and you should be able to 
come up with the correct options.
