G450 and XFree 4.0.1, does it work ?

[Malte]

Hello,
does the driver from XFree86 4.0.1 work with the G450 ? If I take a look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log it says, it supports the g400, but I think, it will also support the G450, since the differences are not so big ?

btw: I´m rellay talking about the driver from XFree86 4.0.1, not the one Matrox offers at its website.

thanx
Malte

May I politely suggest that you check in the correct forum (in this case "alternative lifestyles")?

Yes, this belongs in the other forum. But to answer your question...</P>

Stock 4.0.1 does not appear to work with the G450. I've tried it with no luck.</P>

Get the driver from the matrox site. No recompile is needed, just replace the mga_drv.so in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers with the one from www.matrox.com and it should work fine. If you only have one monitor handy you'll probably have to plug it in to the <em>second</em> output (I did).</P>

Or you could wait for 4.0.2, which should support the G450 out-of-the-box. It's due out real soon now ("middle of december" if I recall correctly).</P>
