Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.85c Severity: normal Tags: patch The framebuffer script (/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/framebuffer) assumes that the name of the option on the command line is the same as the name of the module for the framebuffer. This is not correct for Matrox cards: the command line option is matroxfb, but the module is matroxfb_base.
The attached patch adds a map from command line name to module name (only matroxfb for now). -- Package-specific info: -- /proc/cmdline root=/dev/hda16 video=matroxfb:vesa:0x1BB,fv:75 ro quiet resume=/dev/hda5 -- /proc/filesystems cramfs reiserfs ext3 vfat -- lsmod Module Size Used by ppdev 8964 0 lp 11300 0 autofs4 20164 1 binfmt_misc 11272 1 mga 58624 2 drm 61844 3 mga button 6928 0 ac 5508 0 battery 9924 0 xt_pkttype 2304 0 iptable_raw 2432 0 xt_CLASSIFY 2304 0 xt_CONNMARK 2752 0 xt_MARK 2752 0 ipt_REJECT 5568 0 xt_length 2368 0 xt_connmark 2432 0 ipt_owner 2368 0 ipt_recent 8784 0 ipt_iprange 2176 0 xt_physdev 3344 0 bridge 49692 1 xt_physdev xt_policy 3904 0 xt_multiport 3712 0 xt_conntrack 2944 0 iptable_mangle 3200 0 ip_nat_irc 3008 0 ip_nat_tftp 2240 0 ip_nat_ftp 3648 0 iptable_nat 7428 0 ip_nat 17260 4 ip_nat_irc,ip_nat_tftp,ip_nat_ftp,iptable_nat ip_conntrack_irc 7088 1 ip_nat_irc ip_conntrack_tftp 4664 1 ip_nat_tftp ip_conntrack_ftp 8112 1 ip_nat_ftp ip_conntrack 49504 11 xt_CONNMARK,xt_connmark,xt_conntrack,ip_nat_irc,ip_nat_tftp,ip_nat_ftp,iptable_nat,ip_nat,ip_conntrack_irc,ip_conntrack_tftp,ip_conntrack_ftp nfnetlink 7128 2 ip_nat,ip_conntrack iptable_filter 3392 0 ip_tables 13412 4 iptable_raw,iptable_mangle,iptable_nat,iptable_filter x_tables 13636 16 xt_pkttype,xt_CLASSIFY,xt_CONNMARK,xt_MARK,ipt_REJECT,xt_length,xt_connmark,ipt_owner,ipt_recent,ipt_iprange,xt_physdev,xt_policy,xt_multiport,xt_conntrack,iptable_nat,ip_tables ipv6 228064 14 nls_iso8859_1 4544 2 nls_cp850 5376 2 vfat 12416 2 fat 47260 1 vfat dm_snapshot 15840 0 dm_mirror 19600 0 dm_mod 50776 2 dm_snapshot,dm_mirror it87 19236 0 hwmon_vid 3072 1 it87 lm90 12452 0 i2c_isa 5440 1 it87 i2c_viapro 8532 0 ppp_generic 26324 0 slhc 7104 1 ppp_generic loop 15496 0 tsdev 7808 0 snd_bt87x 14500 0 snd_seq_dummy 4164 0 snd_seq_oss 29120 0 analog 11104 0 snd_seq_midi 8544 0 snd_via82xx 26328 0 psmouse 35336 0 snd_mpu401 7848 0 snd_seq_midi_event 7488 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_ac97_codec 83360 1 snd_via82xx snd_seq 46224 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event serio_raw 6980 0 ide_floppy 16512 0 rtc 12788 0 snd_pcm_oss 39200 0 snd_mixer_oss 15552 1 snd_pcm_oss parport_pc 32612 1 parport 33672 3 ppdev,lp,parport_pc evdev 9408 1 snd_pcm 68996 4 snd_bt87x,snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 21316 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 8384 2 snd_via82xx,snd_mpu401 snd_rawmidi 23200 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8140 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd 47524 13 snd_bt87x,snd_seq_oss,snd_via82xx,snd_mpu401,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 9568 1 snd pcspkr 3392 0 ext3 120392 10 jbd 52968 1 ext3 mbcache 8644 1 ext3 8139cp 22336 0 8139too 25600 0 mii 5696 2 8139cp,8139too bt878 10680 0 ide_cd 36576 1 cdrom 33056 1 ide_cd gameport 14920 2 analog,snd_via82xx snd_ac97_bus 2688 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_page_alloc 9928 3 snd_bt87x,snd_via82xx,snd_pcm ehci_hcd 28488 0 via_ircc 23956 0 irda 163580 1 via_ircc crc_ccitt 2560 1 irda via_agp 9984 1 agpgart 30216 2 drm,via_agp rt2500 153060 1 uhci_hcd 21448 0 usbcore 113412 3 ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd bttv 160244 1 bt878 video_buf 23428 1 bttv firmware_class 10048 1 bttv ir_common 28164 1 bttv compat_ioctl32 1792 1 bttv i2c_algo_bit 8776 1 bttv btcx_risc 5064 1 bttv tveeprom 14160 1 bttv i2c_core 20096 7 it87,lm90,i2c_isa,i2c_viapro,bttv,i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom videodev 21440 1 bttv v4l1_compat 12356 1 videodev v4l2_common 20736 2 bttv,videodev shpchp 33312 0 pci_hotplug 29056 1 shpchp thermal 13896 1 processor 29128 1 thermal fan 5124 1 reiserfs 214080 0 ide_disk 15168 14 ide_generic 1728 0 [permanent] via82cxxx 8708 0 [permanent] ide_core 110984 5 ide_floppy,ide_cd,ide_disk,ide_generic,via82cxxx matroxfb_base 28700 1 matroxfb_DAC1064 10880 1 matroxfb_base matroxfb_accel 4544 1 matroxfb_base matroxfb_Ti3026 6208 1 matroxfb_base matroxfb_g450 7040 1 matroxfb_base g450_pll 6400 2 matroxfb_DAC1064,matroxfb_g450 matroxfb_misc 8832 5 matroxfb_base,matroxfb_DAC1064,matroxfb_Ti3026,matroxfb_g450,g450_pll -- kernel-img.conf #
