RE: G400

[Kris Huber <khuber@sorensontech.com>]

I have a G400 and know that there is support in X v4.  In fact I believe the
support in v4 is better than in v3.3.6.

I recently changed from using the unstable distribution to the stable one.
In the process I ended up changing from XFree86 v4 to v3.3.6.  I never
noticed any display problems under v4, yet under v3.3.6 I've noticed that
vertical colored lines sometimes appear when areas are "re-painted" within
the ICA Client application.  Perhaps it is a problem related to ICA Client,
but I used the identical distribution of it under both XFree86 4 and 3.3.6
and suspect the problem lies with the video driver (which I think is part of
XFree86).  Display mode under both versions was/is 24-bit color, quite
high-res mode ("1472x1104", a custom one I set up).

If anyone has an idea why my Matrox G400 output isn't always looking great
under v3.3.6, I'd appreciate suggestions!  It's not too bad, but a little
annoying.

I have this Matrox G400 video card that's supposed to be really spiffy 
(or was, in it's day).
I'm just trying to confirm the support in X v4.

It seems that this card has taken a serious step back in basic 
performance.  I'm not talking about frames/second, the basic picture is 
kind of lame.
I have a 21" monitor and the whole thing worked great under 3.3.6 and 
even Windows (I had it installed for 3 days until I figured out I 
couldn't get all the devices to work correctly).

I'm just looking for 'similar experiences'
