Hello René,
Many thanks for your patch. [1]
I have bought the PCI graphics card Matrox G200 G2+/QUADP-PL/7 32MB with 4x
DVI. It is an AGP card connected via PCI.
We use the new DRM driver MGAG200 since the kernel 7.2.0-rc4 and the old DRM
legacy driver for Matrox g200/g400 graphics cards since the stable long-term
kernel 5.10.260.
I tested it with the RC5 of kernel 7.2 in my PowerPC machine (e5500) today.
Unfortunately, the DRM driver mgag200 can't read the PCI ROM. Maybe only an x86
ROM?
xrandr detects the ports but reports that they are not connected, even though
the cables are plugged in.
I also tested it with the stable long-term kernel 5.10.261 with the old legacy
DRM drivers for Matrox graphics cards.
I installed the Xorg MGA server xf86-video-mga-2.0.0_3 for the old legacy DRM
driver but unfortunately I get only a black screen.
Is it possible to use this card with PPC Linux?
