[newbie]Please help with Matrox G400 and XFree 4.1.0
Dear friends,
I have desperately searched some appends but really cannot understand if
they apply to my case.
With XFree 3.x I had a perfect XF86Config for my Matrox G400 driving my 16"
TFT display.
Upgraded to 4.1.10 (on a 2.4.10 kernel) and am not able to get the
XF86Config-4 to work and I cannot even understand why it fails !!
Behaviour is that after startx for a fraction of a second I see the familiar
correct gray stippled pattern filling my screen but than after a couple of
"flashes" it dies back to the text console.
Below is the startx 2> output and the XF86Config-4 file. Thank you VERY VERY
VERY much for you help. Bob Alexander
