The ddcmon driver is a Linux 2.4-only driver, which is now deprecated in favor of the more standard eeprom driver with a userspace decoding script. More recent versions of the sensors-detect script would suggest the eeprom driver in this case. I would tend to agree with you that loading the i2c-matroxfb driver by default is not a good idea, as this will first load the matroxfb driver itself, which may cause problems as you experienced. Not everyone wants a framebuffer console. Ideally, we would only load i2c-matroxfb if matroxfb itself is already loaded. I have no immediate idea how this can be done though. Thanks for the report anyway. -- Jean Delvare
