You've probably figured this out by now, but just to state a couple of
points explicitly:
The HorizSync and VertRefresh ranges are Monitor characteristics; make
sure that these values match the specs for your LCD.
The HAL driver stuff is not necessary, but nice if you want better/more
responsive performance. I'm trying to use my Celeron system to watch
dvd's, and every increment of performance helps. You can get these
drivers from the Matrox website.
My dual-head Matrox card is a G400, I couldn't get dual-mode working
until I downloaded and installed the Matrox drivers, even working with
some very nice XF86Config samples.
In order to avoid having my Matrox customizations get bonked when the
Debian X package gets upgraded, I evolved the following strategy with
help from others on this list:
- The Matrox stuff lives in /usr/local/X11/matrox
- My XF86Config "Files" section contains the following lines
ModulePath "/usr/local/X11/matrox/"
ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/"
