Sluggers,
I'm trying to get a dual head operation working on a Matrox G400 card
under ubuntu GG. When I start X it warns me that for dual head I need to
get the mga_hal_drv.so from Matrox.
I have had this card working under FC5 by installing the drivers
(mga_drv.so and mga_hal_drv.so) from the matrox site. However the latest
version of these drivers from Matrox is not new enough for the version
of X that comes with Gutsy. I downloaded the src for the drivers from
the matrox site but haven't been able to get past the ./configure stage
as it can't find the installation of X under gutsy gibbon.
Reading on the ubuntu forums suggests that all that is required is the
appropriate xorg.conf but even using the xorg.conf that I saved from the
FC5 installation doesn't work. I'm pretty much convinced that I need the
mga_hal_drv.so
Cluesticks?
Thanks
Pete
