XOrg.conf for Matrox G400 DH
If you are using Matrox G400 DH (Dual Head), you can use this XOrg.conf to make it work fine. Just change the [Section "Monitor"] for the model you are using.
Tested and functioning. Sax2 in KDM working fine and configuring after aplying this .conf file but sax2 still not working properly in "init 3" after aplying this .conf file.
On 10.0 we didn't configure Matrox G400 boards as Dualhead boards by default, because there has always been huge problems with this for people, who only use one monitor (which is still the majority AFAIK) - believe me. I think with 10.1 it'll be possible to enable the sencond monitor easily. Marcus? I think we can close this with FIXED/WONTFIX. Matrox sold non-DualHead versions of the G400 Millennium, so be sure you know what version you're getting on the DualHead concept. I used flawlessly four x86 on production environment several G400 DH, detected and functioning perfectly on Asus Motherboards (P4C800 and P4P800), and SuSE 9.2 and 9.3 detected that without any problems at all. Just for the record. It's possible to separate the G400 DH from the non-dual versions of the G400 Millenium? well you are a lucky guy not stumbling over the wide range of bugs the mga driver has. The first and foremost reason not to activate dualhead by default is the missing core maintenance for the driver code within Xorg. Matrox has lost its top position concerning desktop graphics hardware and due to this reason nobody is really interested to take care for the driver. The current version of sax supports Matrox Merged Framebuffer mode as well as the old Xinerama style but both are not activated by default. you can easily check that out by testing the current version available here: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/sax/head-build/suse-10.0 1) MergedFB: ------------ - call "sax2 -r" as root from runlevel 3 and click on the <activated dual mode> checkbox, That's it :-) 2) Xinerama: ------------ - call "sax2 -b Xinerama" as root from runlevel 3 and you will see two desktops you can configure like you are used to do it in the past Regards Marcus |
