Hello, I'm sorry that I did not reply immediately, but I returned just today from vacation. It looks that couple of things happen during christmas (Thanks go esp. to Linus for 2.2.0preX). > > > > seems to work. X is fine without matrox acceleration. Now, whose fault > > > > is it?

Unfortunately, I'm not still able to get G100 to work :-( It is new to me that G200 does not work. My test configuration Millennium G200 AGP, 8MB - I-think-that-SGRAM - is recognized (by XFree3.3.3) as SDRAM, unable to probe for memory size, using 8MB - and works up to 1280x1024x32 without problems. Could you send me (if it does not work for you) lspci -vxxx before running X and when running X. Also values reported by X-server when starting (Read OPTION 0x........) should be interesting. Meanwhile, you can try to boot with 'video=matrox:noinit' or try to start X from `real' text console (fbset -depth 0). > > My 4Mb Millenium (not II) FB Console works with both XFree SVGA > > and FBdev at 1152x900 :) no screen restoration problem whatsoever, > > excluding SVGA lib and SVGATextmode utility... SVGALib works if you start it on text console (fbset -depth 0; sdoom) if vger code is now in Linus tree. I hope so, but I've not yet checked, there is much new here after christmas. > If you hear strange jitter when playing music with ALSA and are using the > combination of matroxfb and XFree86, just try to get rid of matroxfb (it > worked for me, I have a Mystique 220) No, I never saw this and I never heard this. In old days at autumn 1998 I've tested Mystique (non-220) here and it worked (together with SF16-FMI, mp3 player and nfs-mounted mp3 files). With Millennium I and G200 together with an Opti929 clone it works just now. > Anyone else have/had this problem? Or wants to know more -- my address is > below. OK, I'm interested in name of your motherboard chipset; and whether it occurs also with XF86_FBDev X-server. You should try to move your soundcard from one slot to another too, maybe it helps you. I have to plug an good metal plate between AVERMedia-TVPhone and my G200, otherwise there were visible vertical stripes during Bt848->G200 activity. Best regards, Petr Vandrovec vandrove@vc.cvut.cz
