[S.u.S.E. Linux] Matrox Millenium II & XF86Setup
I have a Matrox Millenium II and a ViewSonic G810. Under NT I can set my display to 70Hz refresh, 24-bit color, and 1600 x 1200. Using XF86Setup, when I try to get the card to run 1600 X 1200 at 60Hz and 24-bpp I get ripples of errant pixels running through the test pattern. I can see no way to get this to 70 Hz. Is this a limitation of the driver for this card? Is there a better driver?

Hi Steve, I run Accelerated-X 3.1 on my Millenium I w/8megs and my ViewSonic G800 at 1600x1200 with the following: // // Accelerated-X 3.1, Build 3100 // // Xaccel.ini created at Wed Apr 15 21:15:24 1998 // [FONTPATH] "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/AcceleratedX/fonts/misc/", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont"; [RGBPATH] "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/AcceleratedX/etc/Xrgb"; [SETTINGS] SnfFormat = ISC; [KEYBOARD] Layout = "en_US.xkm"; [MOUSE] Device = "/dev/mouse"; Protocol = PS/2; ChordMiddle = YES; [SCREEN] Board = "matrox/mga-mil8h.xqa"; Monitor = "sfreq/s1600-60.vda"; Depth = 24; EnergyStar = YES; [RESOLUTIONS] 1600x1200; ---------------------------------------------------- I have Accelerated-X 4.1 also and it has full support for the Millenium II.

Dee, Thanks. I downloaded their 10 minute demo. It did the trick. Took a while to figure out how to get it configured and still have time to test it inside of ten minutes. They want $100 for it. It looks like the only option. I was disapointed to see that It does not support the Intellimouse. Steve W.D.McKinney wrote:

Well I am not familiar with the Intellimouse ? I use a Logitech 4 button MouseMan, on the bus port. I'm CC'ing the support folks at Xi to see if it there is any future plans for your mouse.

Dude, I had similar problems running 24bpp with my trident 9685 providia with 4megs... I've been told that the acceleeration for the card (driver issues) haven't been completely functional with that color depth... If you know anything about fixes for this, let me know... I don't think it's been updated since SuSE has helped with the Xservers... Jonathan
