[Linux-fbdev-users] matroxfb and 2 matrox cards

[Christoph K. <ma...@gm...>]

Hi!

I have a Problem with 2 Matrox Cards in the same PC and matroxfb
I want to use the Millenium2 for console/X and the G450 for tv-out (directfb)

I can load the matroxfb module without any errors:

matroxfb: Matrox Millennium II (PCI) detected
matroxfb: MTRR's turned on
matroxfb: 640x480x8bpp (virtual: 640x13081)
matroxfb: framebuffer at 0xDA000000, mapped to 0xf9080000, size 8388608
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30
kernel: fb0: MATROX frame buffer device
kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:03:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> Link [APC4] -> GSI 19 (level, 
high) -> IRQ 193
kernel: matroxfb: Matrox G450 detected
kernel: matroxfb: MTRR's turned on
kernel: matroxfb: 640x480x8bpp (virtual: 640x26214)
kernel: matroxfb: framebuffer at 0xD8000000, mapped to 0xfa100000, size 
33554432
kernel: fb1: MATROX frame buffer device
kernel: fb1: initializing hardware
kernel: matroxfb_crtc2: secondary head of fb1 was registered as fb2
kernel: matroxfb: cannot set xres to 800, rounded up to 832

but if I start a Program what uses directfb (eg: mplayer or freevo) ond 
the /dev/fb1 (G450) then it freezes the /dev/fb0 (millenium2/console)
If I stop the application, then I can again use console (/dev/fb0)

why? how can I solve it?
