It's ironic that you should mention Matrox. Back in 1999-2000 I had
this kind of trouble with the Matrox Millennium and RedHat. At that
time Matrox was one of those "proprietary secret" interfaces and XFree
had no good driver for it.
As it happens, I wanted a card that would work for OpenVMS, and since
this Trio64 was working in the Alpha before I got it, it seemed a good
choice. It works perfectly with OpenVMS, so I'll deal with the Linux
problem somehow. Judging by the error messages from X, it may be that
probing is not working properly. I need to find out the address for
the video bios and buffers and specify those in the config to see if
that helps.
