I use: XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: xx August 2001 with the modules from Matrox, they didn't want to install at first but their install-script is nothing fancy, and now it seems to work. but as far as i can tell the latest XFree should do it as well, you have to have:CONFIG_DRM=y CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS=y CONFIG_DRM=y <snip> CONFIG_DRM_MGA=y in your kernel-config to getthings to work though (It might or might not work with a standard kernel, depends on your modules) also good to have (not needed but nice): append="hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi video=matrox:vesa:443" the matrox part in your lilo.conf gives a nice console (you can off course use other values) -- If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce today would cost $100, get a million miles to the gallon, and explode once every few weeks, killing everyone inside.
