Jusy a guess, but, have you tried lowering AGP speed? From 8x or 4x to 2x or even 1x? It has helped me with me previous G400. -Stathis. On Tuesday 23 September 2003 21:36, Pieter Bruinsma wrote:

I have done a lot of digging around... but I have found no solution to my G550 Matrox grpahic card causing the whole system to 'Hang' when X is started (Matrox Forums, mailing lists)... I am running Suse 8.2. I tried the Support Desk but they where not much use... and now my support time is at an end.

Mention of IRQ problems have been made in various places, but the PCI slot that could share the AGP slot IRQ is empty. Anyway my previous Epox mother board had the same problem, as does my new Abit.

I cannot believe I am the only person to exeprience such a problem.
