I'm not a matrox user myself(yet) but i do see this: http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.4/MGA4.html#5
On some Millennium II cards the driver shows severe distortions with 24bpp in modes above about 1024x768. We hope to have automated the detection and fix of this problem. If it still occurs, putting Option "mga_24bpp_fix" in the Device Section may fix the problem. looks like 3.3.5 has the same problem as 3.3.4 hope this helps nate On Sun, 28 Nov 1999, Greg Schulein wrote: gjschu >Hi, gjschu > gjschu >I'm running a Matrox G400 with a Sony G500 display, on a slink system gjschu >that's been upgraded (via apt) to XFree86 3.3.4.
