Re: [timj@gtk.org: Re: XFree86 4.x Phase 2 is ready]
Tim, going on Branden's suggestion of the Modules section, here is my
Modules section. I am using Branden's phase 1 .debs (and matrox's
driver) on my dual-head g400max without any problems (running sawfish)
(well, I had to drop down to 16bit from 24 bit because the primary
display showed vertical lines, but that is hardly branden's fault :) and
these modules seem to work well enough. I don't claim any special
knowledge, except this is what the xf86cfg program put into the Modules
Section. :)
Section "Module"
Load "GLcore"
Load "dbe"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "pex5"
Load "record"
Load "xie"
EndSection
So, if you try these one at a time, or paste them all in (if you are as
sloppy as me), I think things will work for you. :)
