Hi all,
 
I encounter a problem in using a Matrox PCI MGA video. Xfree 3.3.6 refuses to work with it under Suse 7.2 Pro (and also FreeBSD 4.2 ). X server cannot be launch and, more strange, I cannot boot in graphical mode (vga = normal in /etc/lilo.conf) althought an old ISA 1Mb Cirrus Logic works just fine. Of course, this is just unuseful, I can only have a 640x480 resolution in 8 bits(!!) and it takes about 10 minutes to see desktop appear.
 
This card is said to be under Windows 98 a Matrox MGA Ultima/Impression PCI (using IRQ 10) and works perfectly under Win98. I have tried to use MGA, VGA and SVGA driver without success...I would just to use it in simple vga mode...
 
Please help me !
 
Nicolas
