Hi group,

Anyone having experience with the (new?) Matrox P650 Graph card under SuSE? Or does anyone knows if the Dual-Head functionality is supported under SuSE 10?
I tried it under 9.3 with the driver from MAtrox, but my Monitor keeps barfing "Out of Range" while the values in xorg.conf are correct..

Hate to leave such a good card gathering dust...
Hello

I am a little uncertain - what do you mean with new? P650? I have one with 64 Mb ram app 2 years old.

It runs with dual-head under 9.3 in an AMD64 machine - installed in 32bit. :-( the driver cannot compile in 64bit environment.
I don't remember if I had it working in dual-head in my (test) 10.0rc1 - I was mostly interested in the 64bit.

Regarding your barfing-problem - I had a lot of problems at all installing the driver, but when it finaly came through, it works great.

But the 64bit problem am I trying to solve with a ATI9250 based card. It's the latest chip they have submitted information on for the GPL drivers - as far as I know.
