This is the setup I run, to get basic support for your card use the MGA driver (see http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/Status17.html#17 and http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/mga.4.html) but if you want to actually use dual head support there is a beta driver out (for linux, but it runs fine under emulation) it is available here: ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/archive/linux/2000/beta_1_00_03/ You'll need to edit the XF86Config file by hand, between the docs on the xfree86 site and the file included with linux driver you should be fine.

When a run xf86config, in the graphics seccion, the program told me to not worry about if my graphics card were not in the list. OK, my Matrox G400 MAX Dual Head 32Mb is not in the list. During the rest of configuration, I had the filling that it won't work, because the configuration didn't ask me for the resolutions (as did in my second machine with matrox millenium II 4Mb). After this configuration, I run startx, but there was no "windows". There was some messages, and the 2 last ones were: (EE) VGA(0): Given depth (16) is not suported by this driver (EE)Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration </fontfamily> <fontfamily><param>Arial</param>So what can I do? </fontfamily> <fontfamily><param>Arial</param>Thank's very much...
