Neither am I. Looking through the logfile after I've put mga_hal_drv.o
back in place, I'm finding the exact same entry -- and the monitor is
displaying it without a problem (H:91.0 KHz, V:85.0 Hz... thank you, HP,
for giving me that information in the monitor's menu system.) This is
_very_ strange, indeed...
It's at this point that I think it might be worth emailing to the XFree
list, to see if anybody else is seeing things like this. Looks like the
G550 code isn't quite complete... or maybe I'm missing something (in
which case, I'm fairly comfortable in saying the documentation is
incomplete.)
*looks closer at the log files*
Hmm. It's probably related to this line:
(II) MGA(0): Matrox HAL module not loaded - using builtin mode setup instead
I wonder. I wonder, I wonder, I wonder...
This is getting me intrigued... I'll do some digging of my own, and if I
come up with anything useful, I'll add it to the bug report.
