For the latest debs I need to use at least 2.4.0-test9 for hardware-accelerated OpenGL, and it only works with the stock XF4 mga 2D driver (instead of the binary driver from Matrox). Also, I am using 16 bpp, but I have seen reports that you can get it to work with 24 bpp if you tell it to use 32 bpp internally. > - Virtual consoles do not work, if matroxfb driver is used.

This is why I was unable to use the binary driver from Matrox. Try using the stock driver that comes with the debs. Unfortunately, however, I am guessing that you won't be able to do dual-head in that case. -- Thomas E. Vaughan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CIMMS/NSSL, Norman, OK, USA
