Hello Fuxin, Looking at the lspci file I see the following addresses for the video card Region 0: Memory at 08000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] Region 1: Memory at 077dc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Region 2: Memory at 07800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8M] Expansion ROM at 077e0000 [size=128K] but looking at the output from your log.txt file I see ctrl=177dc000,video=18000000,memsize=2000000 which does not match. This means that Linux is not able to write to the frambuffer. You can try to adjust the addresses of the either the VGA adapter and PCI bridge or the Linux matroxfb drivers framebuffer pointer. I hope this helps, Dan Aizenstros QuickLogic Canada Fuxin Zhang wrote: > hello, > > I have touble to make matroxfb work,could you be so kind to help me out? > > My configuration: > Algorithmics P6032 evaluation board + idt64474 mipsel CPU > (with pci slot,no AGP) > Millennium G450 (PCI),16M DDR mem,Dual head. > linux kernel 2.4.2 from hardhat (www.mvista.com) with some > code by me to port it to p6032 > (BTW,I just can't find where the often-mentioned sgi cvs > tree is,the one listed in FAQ seems not work for me,so i > have to use hardhat kernel,if possible,I am willing to > contribute to linux-mips:) > > symptom: > 1.
