I suffered a similar experience with a G450 PCI. It is my understanding that enabling high resolution modes on the DVI port requires some extra fiddling in the driver, but Matrox provides no documentation on this so XFree86/Xorg can't implement it. Unless you can use the proprietary drivers Matrox provides for some platforms, you're effectively stuck with the analog VGA port. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
