I don't think this card is supported in XFree86 4.X. Reference: Look at the XFree86 website for the S3 chipset cards at http://www.xfree86.com/4.1.0/Status28.html#28 I have a 8 Meg Matrox Millenium card here that works fine under Xfree86 4.1 using the "xserver-xfree86" server, which is the "all-in-one" server in this version. This particular Matrox card uses the "mga" module. The Alpha is an old XLT-300, circa 1996. You might try the combination of the "xserver-s3" + "xserver-common-v3" from the "testing" tree. I have not done this here, but my impression is that this allows the older version 3.3.6 style servers to be used in version 4.1. If you d/l and install the first package, it should pull down the second due to dependencies. I "think" you need the XFree86 4.X version to run KDE... Cheers, -Don Spoon-
