Im not sure if will still work, but in the days of using Matrox cards I used to: 1. Download linux driver: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/support/drivers/ 2. Place mga_drv.o and mga_hal.drv.o into /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ (was /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ when i did it). This used to work and allow me have to dual-head with mga. Not sure about nowdays though - worth a shot. -Alex IMPORTANT: This email remains the property of the Department of Defence and is subject to the jurisdiction of section 70 of the Crimes Act 1914.
