Hello Florian,

Is this with kernel 2.6.x or 2.4.x?

I remember there were some problems with Matrox cards, that were
initially not included in the 2.4.x low-latency patch, but I thought
that at some point Andrew included them.

Hi,

thanks for your mail. It seems though that this is independent of the kernel version. 
I booted into 2.4.22 with LL+preempt and it shows the exact same behaviour as did 
2.6.7 vanilla, 2.6.7-bk10-ck5-H3 and 2.6.8-rc1-mm1... I think the card is just not 
good.. I'm also wondering about the weird lspci -v output which reports no latency for 
the matrox card [and it's not bus master like all other pci devices i have]..

one other thing to try: be sure in you XF86Config you have
PciRetry set to off.  From man mga:

   Option PciRetry boolean
  Enable or disable PCI retries.  Default: off.

Thanks for the hint. I didn't even know man pages for the X11 drivers existed.. Cool. 
Didn't help though ;) Well, anyways, i'll try some other pci cards today [as i managed 
to talk a budy of mine into letting me have some for tests].. I'll let you guys know 
my findings.
