Fred: Here is what I tried (Matrox g400) using the regular distro packages/modules.
I shut down X (killall gdm) I used modconf to load matroxfb_base. I restarted X (gdm). X works but still no 3D acceleration. I shut down X again. I used 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to use the kernel framebuffer (this adds Option "UseFBDev" "true" to xorg.conf). The module matroxfb_base is still loaded. X would not start (gdm). -- Edgy upgrade breaks multiple Matrox cards https://launchpad.net/bugs/58721 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
