AFAIK you have to use the mga_hal driver in order to support DVI, at least, I did with my card. Matrox doesn't seem to provide any 64 bit version of the mga_hal, so you can forget it. I had to switch to a cheap AVI card to use my TFT in 64-bit mode. There doesn't seem to be any source available for the mga_hal. > If not.. any suggestion for a new graphic card which gives me the > opportunity to connect two CRT monitors to it (no DVI) and is supported > by xorg (xinerama)? Don't know about xinerama. I'm only using one screen. --- Gary Jennejohn / garyj[at]jennejohn.org gj[at]freebsd.org garyj[at]denx.de
