Gordon, getting everything right is damn near impossible. Thank your own deity that Branden has done most of the work for us already. :) Currently, I don't use libGLU, but copying the one libGLU library out of the package is probably sufficient. What I have found about getting my g400Max to do GLX is that it requires using XFree86's mga_drv.o driver, loading the agpgart and mga kernel modules (I use 2.4.0-test10 with good success, and perhaps 2.2.18-presomething would have the same effect, but that may require kernel drivers from dri.sourceforge.net) and having the right mix of packages installed. I don't think it takes any of the mesa packages. To get the g400Max to do dual-head requires using matrox's mga_drv.o file. I'm not sure if agpgart and mga need to be unloaded or not from the kernel, but I do, to save memory. You will also need to tweak your XF86Config-4 file to load the glx, dri, GLCore, and dbe modules. (I have two config files, one to describe both monitors, one to describe only one monitor, and I switch between the two when I want GL to work.) Yes, it is a bit annoying, but not enough to cause me to learn how to program these things for the accelerated OpenGL while running dual-head.
