Hi Xperts,

I have some applications which only supports 8 bit.
I would rather not have to run 8 bit on all application,
and since my graphics device is a matrox G400, I would
be able to use the 24+8 mode described in the man page
for mga. Unfortunately everytime I try to use it the xserver fails with the 
error

No overlay visuals found!

The only reference on www I have been able to find is the source code (sic!) 
at

http://www.atomised.org/docs/XFree86-4.2.1/hw_2xfree86_2xf8__32bpp_2cfbscrinit_8c-source.html

which doesn't help much with regard to how to configure X to avoid it.

Have anybody out there succeeded in running an xserver on matrox G400 with
both truecolor and pseudocolor visuals?

I use Xfree86 4.2.1

hope to hear from you
