I did get out late but I could not leave it, as usual, so got the 1.4.9 
(Makefile,v 1.7 2009/01/08 16:58:29 and the corresponding distinfo), rebuilt 
the port and, success...

Well, mostly. I had to DefaultDepth 16 in the Screen to really get her up 
(errors otherwise, [1]). The other option probably is to go w/o DRI, and I 
really may consider that since it looks kinda crappy still -- but not today 
anymore. At least, we're back to xorg.conf, and also there still is the option 
with the junk box... :)

So thanks for the hint, and

All the best regards,

Peter.

I know that feeling, so thanks for offering. Please take it easy :)

I did eye that, funny you say so. I found on some X.org repository that 1.4.9 
was considerably 'younger' than 1.9.100. I may (might) have a look at it 
tonight depending on when I may get outta here.

Oh, I had even less success with a radeon in an IBM box but that's admittedly 
before 7.4 and probably another story. I'll have another dig into my junk box 
but so far I only got PCI out of it (and the G200 has AGP, dunno if that makes 
*the* difference though ;-)).

Alright, then,

Thanks a lot, and

All the best,

Peter.

The 1.4.9 version of mga may work.  I'd give portdowngrade instructions 
for it, but the anoncvs server isn't answering.


If you have the option of replacing the Matrox card, better-supported 
Radeons are available in AGP, PCI, and PCIE versions.
