I'm using the matroxfb accelerated FB driver, kernel-tuned
(it's got some settings) for my Mystique 220.

I'd like to ditch the standard XFree, though, because I don't
like mode-switching into X.

I've also got GGI running on my FB right now; mixed results so
far. I can do the aforementioned 640x480x{16,32} with some
programs, but not others. (ggv, the graphics viewer, works fine
here, but i can't get gdoom, the GGI port of sdoom, to do it
correctly yet. Yet. ;).

No, I didn't think the Mystique did hardware GL. Maybe the G200
does; innerFire ? <g>
