In my case, when lilo boots my G450 on any video mode other than 'normal', going into X and then back into console, leads to a blank screen. I've observed this behavior in 2.2 and 2.4. Otherwise, I've no problem using the card in single or dual head. Since the HAL lib is a binary, we might have to wait for Matrox to fix this problem. -- Rafael - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
