Hi,

About a years ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding the
display being ruined by white lines on a Matrox G550 board. Did you
reproduce this problem recently? With Xorg/Etch? With latest
xserver-xorg-core in unstable? If not, I will close this bug in the next
weeks.

I tested it, and the bug is gone!
Version:
xserver-xorg-video-mga        1:1.4.6.1.dfsg.1-3

It is nice to have the G550 back again - the alternative was a horribly
slow Radeon 9200 SE with always-unstable DRI.

The G550 is much quicker, and 24-bit color seems to work too.
