Your display is connected via D-SUB, not DVI, isn't it? AFAIK when using
a DVI cable, to get things work the drivers shipped with 4.2.1 have to be
replaced by matrox drivers (at least mga_hal_drv.o). Please correct me
if I'm wrong.
Recently, I replaced my CRT with a LCD monitor, and ran into several
problems with the G550, X and the framebuffer device on the text console.
So I'm very interested if someone else got these problems solved with
debian packages, a stable kernel (2.4.20) and maybe some magical
configuration files.
Best wishes,
Torsten
