As I recall the mga driver requires the binary "hal" module to use the DVI ports. You might be able to get it working using the linux mga fbdev driver and the option "usefbdev" since the fbdev driver supports pretty much all of the feautures of the mga cards. Alex ------------------------------- Sorry for coming late to this discussion, but I just subscribed. I happened to be going through the MGA manpage today, and noticed that it would appear that the MGA G550 is both supported, and dual DVI. What resolutions it can drive in DVI mode, I don't know, but I'm sure the Matrox site would be forthcoming. $.02, -Ken > The radeon driver code has code to handle two DVI ports however, the > cards are very rare.
