Hi All, Anyone successfully running 3d with a Matrox G550 on SuSE 9.0? I was able to get through Sax2 after some huffing and puffing and a crash, but the machine locks solid after starting kde and has to be reset. I have installed all patches, including, naturally, all those to X. The days of 3d hardware accel seem as far away as ever here ... although since I want to use the machine for graphics work the 16 bit colour limitation doesn't help either. Something odd about this machine, or ...? Best Fergus -- Fergus Wilde Chetham's Library Long Millgate Manchester M3 1SB Tel: +44 161 834 7961 Fax: +44 161 839 5797 http://www.chethams.org.uk

Fergus, I have not had any success with the G550 on 9.0 either. I don't know why this is a problem...it's a popular card and Matrox is pretty well known for their quality. If I come up with anything, I'll let you know. -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

This is what i get, running 3Ddiag. But playing "racer" won't work at all.

I've reported a few days ago an analog problem with a G450. I had to make a copy of my XF86Config file from SuSE 8.2 to SuSE 9.0 and it works in 3D even with kernel 2.6. There seems to be a bug in Sax2 Catimimi.
