Re: Matrox Xserver on Debian
Hi,
Installing RPM package sometimes is not working quite well. (Different libc
library warnings, whatever...) You can get directly XFCom_Matrox.tar.gz from
ftp.suse.com (NOTE not from Web page, they don't have links there). After
that you just extract 1 binary XFCom_Matrox and you are all set.
BTW. If you take server from suse, you'll need to create sym link:
ln -s /var/lib/kbd/ /var/X11R6/xkb/compiled
to make your keyboard work right (backspace).
That's what I did for Matrox Millenium G200.
