Re: Matrox G550 32MB under Woody
I'm not sure if this is the correct path, but what version of Xfree86
are you running? I have the MatroxG450 and it is only supported
under the 4.1.0 Xfree86 version.
http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status18.html#18
This link mentions supported drivers for the Matrox.
Hope this helps.

Not the desire for the achievement
but love of the things themselves
can lead to something worthwile.
