Hi,
on the new opteron server i'm observing an oops during matrox video initialization.
here's the dmesg from pure 3.6.2 kernel:

I haven't owned a G200 based Matrox in years, but based on code
analysis and your output, it looks to me like the VRAM init failure
results in our taking the unload/cleanup backout path well before
the call to drm_mode_config_init() in mgag200_driver_load().
drm_mode_config_cleanup() doesn't handle that situation.
So I would think either drm_mode_config_cleanup() itself needs
revision to handle being called with an uninitialized data set
(better general solution, but that may violate expectations and
I'd think the maintainers would want to chime in on how to signify
that) or we have the driver use some common sense and clean up what
it really did.
I've generated a patch for the latter, does it solve your immediate
problem? It won't solve the VRAM init failure, I know.
I've built it, but without a G200, haven't tested myself.
