Matrox G450 + frame buffer support?

3 Mar 2002

      Hi all

Suse 7.2; Xfree86 4.2.0; Matrox G450

Having finally got my new G450 (said to be supported in Xfree 4.2.0) to work
both in X & console by disabling frame buffer support (remove vga=771 in
lilo) I'm not very happy with the console appearance, it looks like a 1980's
CGA screen - yuk

Is there any way to get frame buffer support with the G450? or do I wait for
updated Xfree86?

I checked the Matrox / Linux support site and tried the new mga (binary)
drivers but so far no luck

Any ideas?
