I am not sure what the option to tell it's an LCD is.

My kernel (2.4.18) is compiled and configured manually, I did enable 
dri and matrox (mga.o) support in the kernel as modules. But I notice
that they are never needed - lsmod claims that they aren'tunused.

mga                   102480   0  (unused)
agpgart                15776   1 


But anyway, I am using the mga drivers from Matrox. In my XF86Conf4.
I have these 3 lines that I am not really sure what they do

Section "Module"
#	Load	"GLcore" # is this needed for matrox ? 
	Load	"dri" #
#	Load	"glx"

I have problems with the glx, according to Matrox readme, 
it should be on. But when I enable it, I can't start X. 

Here's a portion of the X log

(==) MGA(0): Backing store disabled
(==) MGA(0): Silken mouse enabled
(**) MGA(0): DPMS enabled
(II) MGA(0): Using overlay video
(==) MGA(0): Direct rendering disabled
(II) [GLX]: Calling GlxExtensionInit

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting


- From this, I can tell that DRI is disabled - why?
and something with GLX that crashed the server.
