Back in 1999-2000 I had this kind of trouble with the Matrox Millennium and RedHat. At that time Matrox was one of those "proprietary secret" interfaces and XFree had no good driver for it.
As it happens, I wanted a card that would work for OpenVMS, and since this Trio64 was working in the Alpha before I got it, it seemed a good choice. It works perfectly with OpenVMS, so I'll deal with the Linux problem somehow. Judging by the error messages from X, it may be that probing is not working properly. I need to find out the address for the video bios and buffers and specify those in the config to see if that helps. --Gary -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
