I've been using Matrox G550 for years. Now I upgraded to Lenny and DVI connection stopped working. I have also vga on my monitor, but I need it for another machine (that's a bit like kvm box without the k and m).
X itself doesn't seem to know it's not working. When I command startx, everything initializes etc. and the command does not return. The monitor just says "no signal" though. Text in console is fine. And I don't find any obvious errors in the xorg log file either. I searched a bit and there are reports about dualhead problems etc. But I can't find whether I still need the hal library or should mga driver support dvi. I have this mga_hal_drv.so which I think was needed before. I tried Xorg -configure and dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server, but the results were same. When I switched the driver in xorg.conf from mga to vesa, I started to see picture in X also. And it's through dvi connection. And it's working quite nicely actually. But anyway, maybe the mga driver would be better. Anyone have recent experiences with G550? Or debugging tips?
