ok. but it's surprising that matrox supplied driver's software
rendering atleast works, and hits 300fps in glxgears, where as stock
debian driver only hits 120-200 fps and only shows a black window.

no, it was also done with matrox supplied mga driver.

Tried that suggestion by someone last night - defaults to 1x and no
difference. Also tried specifying ram size to specific amount, no
difference. Also changed AGP aperture to 32megs, atleast that removed
a warning message about mtrr ranges.
I am stumped as to what is the problem. 3 things that I have changed
before it worked and after I noticed it does not work:
1) upgrade bios to latest beta version, in the hope to solve other
issues (weirdly - that problem disappeared without effort a few days
before bios upgrade)
2) kernel upgraded from 2.6.10-ac1 to 2.6.11 (custom compiled by myself)
3) ran apt-get dist-upgrade a couple of weeks ago
Another suggestion I tried - disabling APIC - renders my ethernet card
and usb bus as useless.
I'm not sure where the problem lies, because there are no useful error
/ warning messages to indicate a problem. it might be a hardware
problem but I need to make sure it is.
When scrolling in the virtual screen, every 32 horizontal pixels ,
there appears to be a 4 pixel vertical bar on the right side, mirrored
from the centre. A hardware defect/malfunction? This never happened
with my G200 card. weirdly enough, it does not happen with the matrox
supplied driver (but it appears to jump twice as many pixels
horizontally to avoid it)
I guess the best thing to determine that is to try windows.
Any other suggestions?
-David.
