I forgot to mention that I was using 4.1.0 from Debian Woody (labeled in
Debian as 4.1.0-7, so there's some additional fixes I suppose).

I tried again, this time from a serial console, with two differents
kernels, one without (as before) and one with the matrox framebuffer
driver. result :

1) no FB support, NoAccel : 8 bits has 4 pixels columns mirrored, 24
bits seems fine.

2) FB support, NoAccel : 8 bits seems fine, 24 bits is yellow

3) Accel, with or without FB: nothing is displayed except HW cursor, X
enter a busy loop (100% cpu). Connection from client are OK but nothing
is displayed.

4) FB support, with UseFBDev and NoAccel : second try lock-up hard the
box

The only suspicious thing to me in the log is one line that read
something like "(==) MGA(0) Using AGP 1x mode" - but the box doesn't
have AGP, and the chipset mga2064W was never used on AGP, only PCI. It
seems related to DRI (correctly disabled in the log), is it just a
spurious message ?

I can supply the config file and log file(s) if necessary.

Any help/comments/advices/status of the Matrox cards on big-endian
systems welcome.
