G400 MAX has SGRAM. AFAIK only G200 and G400 cards have SGRAM but not all of them, some have SDRAM. With kenel >= 2.4.22 you can check the memory type with the matrox_pins utility. That is if the information in the card's BIOS is correct. If that fails the only way to make sure is to look at the memory chips. Anyways, it would appear that the corruption must be caused by something else... > The display is correct when the machine boots, XDirectFB is running or > when MPlayer is running, it only becomes corrupted when XDirectFB has been > terminiated. The only time I managed to get my card totally messed up was with corrupted shared memory. I probably had some apps linked to incompatible DirectFB versions. After recompiling everything DirectFB related things returned to normal. But in a case like that the corruption should happen when the app is started not when it's terminated. -- Ville Syrj�l� [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
