Hi there I think i treid to do >Xfree86 -configure but it gave me some error messages. I think i'm gonna try what jorge suggests and install the beta matrox driver and then the powerdesk. Hopefully this will work. Hm... that's strange... why does yours work? Can you tell me what version of xfree you were running? Does it have anythign to do w/ the fact taht i'm running freebsd and your running redhat? I would think that it doesn't matter since xfree is the window manager on both os's? thanks desmond >From: Lionel Lecoq <lionel_lecoq@yahoo.com> >Reply-To: newbie@XFree86.Org >To: newbie@XFree86.Org >Subject: RE: support for matrox millennium g450 >Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 14:22:45 -0700 (PDT) > >Have you tried XFree86 -configure (don't know whether that works under >freeBSD though) >Lionel >--- Desmond Lee <desmond60@hotmail.com> wrote: > > At the xfree site it lists the following: > > > > Support (accelerated) for the MGA2064W (Millennium I), MGA1064SG >(Mystique), > > MGA2164W (Millennium II) (PCI and AGP), G100, G200, G400, G450, and G550 >is > > provided by the "mga" driver. > > > > Thus, the G450 matrox chipset is supported.
