From User-Agent: XML-RPC These changes made by ltroan. DESCRIPTION: Some new generation hardware uses the Matrox Pilot graphics controller from ServerEngines and will be offered with both Red Hat RHEL3 and RHEL4. ServerEngines explains that the standard VESA driver has big disadvantages against the Matrox G200e mga driver so it is important for vendors using this hardware to use the Matrox driver. This means RHEL4 U4 should include this driver. A separate distribution and installation of the Matrox driver based on RHEL4 U3 or U4 will be very difficult to handle for us and for our customers. A Matrox driver integration to the RedHat distribution is therefore also important for RedHat 4.0 U4. Comment cloned from bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183388 for RHEL4 Issue escalated to Fujitsu-Engineering by: ltroan. ltroan assigned to issue for Fujitsu Siemens Engineering.

This event sent from IssueTracker by ltroan [Feature-RHEL] issue 89111 From User-Agent: XML-RPC Adam Jackson waiting for updated MGA driver from Matrox. Plans to include in U4. This event sent from IssueTracker by ltroan [Feature-RHEL] issue 89111 Adam has a test kernel for RHEL3 (XFree86). See Bug 183388. No test kernel for RHEL4 (xorg) yet. Has Matrox provided the patches yet? No patches attached here yet. Matrox has provided U4 patches. Setting status to ASSIGNED. Hi Larry, are there also test packages for RHEL4? Regards, Martin This event sent from IssueTracker by ltroan issue 89111 Adam did not have the corresponding patches for RHEL4 (xorg) as of 3-13. They will be forthcoming but I don't have a date. In the meantime please test the RHEL3U8 proposed patch set on my people.page [http://people.redhat.com/ltroan/fixes/RHEL3U8G200e/] and respond in bugzilla 183388. This event sent from IssueTracker by ltroan issue 89111 Clarification. Adam did not have the corresponding embedded xorg patches based off RHEL4U3.
