I don't know about the Matrox card, but my ModularTech card (which
the bttv driver IDs as a Miro) works fine on xf86_svga with a Cirrus Logic
5446 card (with 2Mb).

Re: bttv and MATROX (fwd) [In reply to]

Anyone know why I'm not getting anywhere with mine?
I have the WinTV card, XFree86, and a Diamond Stealth 3000 (4meg).
I'm still only getting a black screen.

One idea: the drivers print a few numbers when they are loaded; if you
see some occurences of "ff", it may be that your card's MMIO is not
being enabled. When I got my card, I had this problem until I told my
BIOS that I did _not_ have a PnP OS. (But this ended up breaking my
sound card...)
(I've only used the 4.3 drivers. The one time I tried the 5.0 driver,
it couldn't agree with my X server about were the video memory was.)
