Hi all, now I'm trying to get a Matrox Millenium G450 up and running under X (4.0.3). So far I have a more or less working solution with the framebuffer device, but it's far from being satisfactory.
When trying the mga driver, X complains: (WW) Warning, couldn't open module mga_hal (EE) MGA: Failed to load module "mga_hal"(module does not exist, 0) (EE) MGA(0): G450 support not available without Matrox HAL module and stops working. I got two drivers at the Matrox website, mga_hal_drv.o and mga_drv.o. Both won't load with my kernel version (2.4.4) because of 'unresolved symbols' in the driver files. The instructions at the website didn't mention which kernel they used. Matrox has a source distribution for the drivers, too, but this requires compiling X from the sources with the driver source copied in, so that is not a very pleasant alternative. Has someone a solution or compiled the driver and is willing to share the binary? Hoping for help, joachim
