[Mplayer-matrox] Matroxset blanks out all consoles

[<s9...@st...>]

Hello all!

I apologise if this mail goes out on this list in several copies, I have
has some problems with my mail client.

I have a weird problem with tv-out on my G400 Max. By the way, I did RTFM
:)

I have all the modules compiled into the kernel (2.4.19) and at boot it
all seems to work fine:

--------------------------

  read-only


running the matroxtv-script and hitting 2 just makes all the consoles go 
black. When running the commands manually all seems to go well up to the 
"matroxset 1" comand, which triggers the blanking. If I have X running
when the command is isued I can, however go to console 7 where X is. The
computer does not hang, it runs just fine, I just loose output to the
consoles..

Hope someone can help. I bought a G400 Max card, which was not easy to
find, just to get tv-out working...
