Where is this package to be found, what do I do with it, and do I need to 
configure the kernel somehow to support it?

My new kernel is lacking matroxfb.o.  There is a 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.31/drivers/video/matrox directory with 
matroxfb_DAC1064.0, matroxfb_Ti3026.o, matroxfb_accel.o, matroxfb_base.o, 
matroxfb_misc.o, and a Makefile .

David, how did you get matroxfb.o to compile?
The only change I made to your fb configuration was to add M for the 
PCI voodoo card which I discovered in one of our computers and Hercules 
framebuffer - how would those affect matrox?  I posted configsm.431 (in 
/2.4.31 at my site).  For some reason vesafb.o was compiled though I 
answered CONFIG_VESAFB=Y not M.  I answered the matrox question M.

We have my new kernel working with zgv (and libvga.so.1.4.3) and netpbm 
for BL2 and links2 from delilinux, in BL2.1, and USB-storage.  I don't 
think we have a framebuffer card in that computer (S3 Virge?).  So we 
don't have the framebuffer part tested yet.
