Re: [XFree86] Matrox G450 Video Card

[NUKE THEM]

Matrox has a driver on it's homepage. It should work with every XFree86 4.x.

Since Mandrake 7.0 is using XFree 3.3.6 you should consider downloading a 
newer Mandrake.
...Or use the 3.3.6 SVGA driver. It has all options for 2D but no 3D.

Hope this helps.

  with RH90 distribution I cannot install the system from graphical
  environment, only text.

 You need a VideoRam line in you XF86Config file to tell the driver how
 much system memory to use.  try adding
 VideoRam8192

 to your Device section.
 I'd also recommend runnin in 16bit colour. There can be problems with the
 i855 in 24 bit (gets unstable when VT-switching) and there is no hw
 accceleration in 24bit mode AFAIK.

 cheers

The Matrox G450 is supported in XFree86 4.1.0 using the 'mga' driver and newer
(the current release is 4.3.0, and 4.4.0 pre-release is available).
