Does your patch include the Framebuffer stuff? I have yet to find a
patch to let me
enable the framebuffer/Acceleration options for my Matrox G200. This is
true whether I get the stock kernel source or the Redhat RPM's. It seems
to be in the source tree but not available using xconfig. Any ideas
would be great; I need the rest of my hair.
