Matrox G450 and XF4.0.1: solved



Well, it turned out one has to do some nasty trick to get X up: after
entering startx, all output is delivered to the second monitor port on the
Matrox G450 card, so you have to hot-swap your monitor (if you're working
in single-head mode like me) to get X up and running.
Dual-head has same "feature": run startx, and after that plug in the
second monitor. Warning: monitor on second connector (=only monitor in
single-head) is known as first monitor to the card (might be important if
you have 2 different types).

matrox has a forum: forum.matrox.com/cgi-bin/mgaforum/
Go ask the matrox-developers to change this, 'cause it's totally
ridiculuous ;-)
