The install script might not work as Matrox is probably not 100% sure it works with 6.9. You can just tar xzf the tarball and cp the files from 6.8.2 to /usr/X11R6/... Anyway, the standard mga driver from X.Org should work as well (without the Hallib of course). Are you using framebuffer? > No, I'm not asking how to restart xdm.

So, if I get this correctly: - the Matrox is in your desktop - the desktop screen is blank - you ssh from laptop to the desktop - you try to get X started in the destop using your ssh session The main point is that you should start X server in the desktop. I.e. you are not trying to make a remote X session (because the problem is in the X server). If you have your X running in the desktop, you should kill it first. If you don't have any session managers in your desktop, you could try DISPLAY=desktop:0.0 startx where 'desktop' is the name of your desktop machine. If that doesn't work, you should be able to start X with just X I'm not sure if it starts without session manager though. Also, could you post the device sections and any relevant serverflags and serverlayout sections from your xorg.conf. > -- > Bill Moseley > moseley@hank.org Simo -- :r ~/.signature
