Re: Matrox Millenium II again
I have a Matrox Millenium II PCI with 4 MB WRAM. One of the best
resource for information on how to upgrade and configure XFree86 for
the Millenium II is the Web site for the XFree86 Matrox Team at
http://matrox.alloy.net. I got it working with the Matrox Team's
download and installation instructions.
