If you are currently running 4.0.1, I would seriously recommend skipping
this
minor revision. I have run into a multitude of problems with it, and am now
back right where I started.
One, is the lack of DRM support for the matrox cards anymore. The kernel
module has a version number in it, which is less than that required by the
DRM system. It won't insert the module until you update this--so it appears
that no one is actually using it.
Another, is that there seem to be delays in the event stream, making
interactive performance terrible. One example: When I go to move a window,
I
start dragging it, moving the outline as I go. Then I unclick, yet the
frame
is still visible. I actually have to move the mouse more to get the window
move to take effect. There are other cases, where it appears to lose events
all together--like clicking on windows to raise them, or with menus.
There were also a handful of other things, that I don't recall offhand now.
These problems were observed on a 4.2-STABLE box, not too long ago. I have
compiled the source from scratch (with and without matrox DRM stuff), as
well
as using the stock 4.0.2_5 package, both of which behave the same.
