[Bug 581466] Re: matroxfb causes corruption in both virtual consoles and xorg

DirectFB behaves so since I didn't specify any screen mode into my config file ~/.directfbrc

This is because at boot I asked for video mode 0x115 (800x600x32bpp).

I attached my latest .directfbrc you can see the `mode' statement I just added, since directfb turns my desktop at the specified resolution and it reads modelines/timings from /etc/fb.modes . Sadly, even at the right resolution, it's always filled with random pixels. The question is: what am I setting wrong?
Why does directfb change the screen resolution? I don't expect directfb acts ON MY DESKTOP! it just has to do its job on second head, NOT ON MY DESKTOP! It didn't use to change my desktop settings when I had good old hardy heron, and nothing changed since then (I mean, into my config files).
