  • where are CONFIG_FB_MATROX kernel options?

    i posted this over at matrox, but too close to the time they disable posting--and it's a long weekend! so i'm posting here too:


    i'm following the recipe at [http://linux.zsolt.net/marvel.html] to enable tv support with rh9 and g450 etv. i've never recompiled the kernel before, but using make xconfig i was able to locate all the kernel options the recipe says, except for:

    CONFIG_FB_MATROX=y
    CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G100=y
    CONFIG_FB_MATROX_I2C=m
    CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G450=m

    I looked through just about every category (using make xconfig's "help' button to reveal full option name), and couldn't find the above options to set them. The most likely candidate looked to me to be under the Console Drivers category, but the button "frame buffer support", which looked promising due to the FB initials, was greyed out. How do I set these CONFIG_FB_MATROX options?[/url]

    I think framebuffer support is still marked as experimental (even though it seems everyone except me uses it). Turn on the Experimental options (very first question).
    Blah blah blah nick blah blah confusion, blah blah blah blah frog.

      thanks. i found the CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL option under the top left button "Code maturity level options" when running make xconfig. Enabling it also enabled the CONFIG_FB options under the button "Console drivers'.
