Hmm, according to the documentation 3.3.6 only supports the G200, so if you've got it working please tell me how... > > > I bought a Matrox, 'cause I wanted to support a company that > > developes open source drivers, but man, I'm starting to regret that > > decision ;-) > > Well, I thought about that a bit when I was still struggling > with my defective card, but this card is so good that I'm > convinced it was indeed a wise choice to pick it up. :-) Still like the card for their 2D-quality Thanks, Erik Noort PS For those who used the woody-packages, that was probably before they changed to a new libc version, then you could just take the binary-packages.
