XFree86 4.0.2 and Matrox G400
Hello List,
I'm not able to get hardware rendering/GL running on my G400. Kernel is
currently 2.4.0-test11 (2.4.0 was a bit wobbly for me - haven't d/loaded
2.4.1 yet) and I'm getting the follwing error in /var/log/XFre86.0.log
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
(II) Loading sub module "vgahw"
(II) LoadModule: "vgahw"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a
(II) Module vgahw: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 0.1.0

(--) MGA(0): BIOS at 0xFEAE0000
So, mga_hal does not exist! Indeed it doesn't - at least I couldn't
find it.
Funnily enough, DRI goes on to initialise ok - so it claims, but using
the ssystem -bench option shows no difference in performance. It's a
pity because I've got another installation on this same system that I've
frozen with X3.3.6 & glx that runs like a dream.
XFree86 was installed from the .debs in unstable but the kernel is,
obviously, home compiled. I had a quick look for it in the kernel
sources but couldn't find anything there.
Can anyone tell me where mga_hal comes from and why I haven't got one?
TIA
