I tried the mga driver posted above by Paulo J. S. Silva. with a g400 agp. i.e. http://www.ime.usp.br/~pjssilva/xserver-xorg-video-mga_1.4.2.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb
The installation worked, the 2D display worked but I would get a total machine lockup when I tried to display 3D animations from either gnome-screensaver or xscreensaver. I gave up at this point. Fred: I stiil haven't tried the matroxfb_base approach. Are there some step by step instructions (for the compiling impaired people like me)? Without matroxfb using a framebuffer just prevents X from starting. -- Edgy upgrade breaks multiple Matrox cards https://launchpad.net/bugs/58721 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
