[Bug 581466] Re: matroxfb causes corruption in both virtual consoles and xorg

[topolinik]

Thank you for your suggestion.
But nothing changed, even with this latest kernel.
Just note: if I run

$ dmesg |grep -i matrox
[    1.289437] matroxfb 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC4] -> GSI 19 (level, high) -> IRQ 19

matroxfb_misc

here I see many matroxfb_* modules are built-in into the kernel. Could I get different results 
building these as loadable modules? Notice that directfb docs suggest using matroxfb to be loaded alone.
