I have a problem with my RedHat 9.0 configuration of my Matrox G2+ video
card.
When I run
XFree86 -xf86config XF86Config.new, I get a mouse cursor as an X, that
can be moved across the screen, but no other video.
To get out of this, I hit the CRTL-ALT-BACKSPACE keys.
In addition to the error message below, I get:
(EE) MGA(0): [drm]
Direct redering only supported with G200/G400/G550/ AGP
Thanks for all your help,
Kathleen Ayala

^^^^^^^ there is your problem......
no config file. try just running /usr/X11/bin/XF86Config directly to create a
config file then start X with either 'X' or 'startx' I have a millinum
II card from matrox and it works fine. and dont worry about the Direct
rendering error thats just telling you that X cant directly send 3-d rendering
commands to the card, it would have to use a software driver instead of a the
hardware/direct drivers
