dunno.. I compiled 2.4.0-test1 with matroxfb support (I have a mystique)
and boot linux video=matrox:vesa:0x117 (1024x768x16) works
fine.. and I get a penguin when booting.. I miss that from x86 land :)
BTW, if you have a UX, don't bother with the Voodoo's.. they don't
work. Or not in mine (and I think I have the latest version of
the ARCSBIOS (1.3.062)) at the very least..
