Hi all,
I want to set up  the overlay for a matrox G400 and G550 card , but I
have some problems.
The X server crashes without any indications.
Does someone could help me?
See below the XF86 config file
In advance thanks for answers...
1) Setup
This mode only works for color depth 24, framebuffer 32 bits.
Add following lines to /etc/X11/XF86config-4

Section "Device"
 Option "Overlay" "on"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 DefaultDepth 24
 DefaultFbBpp 32
 Subsection "Display"
  Depth 24
  FbBpp 32
  Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768"
 EndSubSection
EndSection

Check in /var/log/Xfree.0.log that the overlay has been activated (look
for overlay word)

2) Test results
I tried to setup the option for following graphic cards:
a) Matrox G400, Matrox G550
    => successful but an the option "Overlay" needs a string as
parameter which is not documented else the X server startup crashes!
