* Card ... Matrox G450 Dual-Head
* OS / Desktop ... Xubuntu XFCE vanilla install from Edgy LiveCD (along
with all update manager recommended updates afterwards)
* Problem ... libGL error everyone else was getting when trying to do 3d
stuff
* Resolution ... Tried the Option UseFBDev true fix
I've got the same problem on my PWS 600a running au firmware and
whatnot. Fresh install of debian using sarge, get xorg nice and
configured and then X works fine, but I cant go to any consoles or close
out. First monitor was just claiming out of range, but I put it on a
very unpicky monitor, it
sorry, that's something you should do if you need it for edgy.. I'm
swamped with other work :/
file a backport/SRU report and see if it goes through.

- Considering xserver-xorg-dev (= 2:1.1.1)
Tried versions: 1:1.1.1-0ubuntu12.1 1:1.1.1-0ubuntu12
Backporting it to edgy would need to backport this package, is it
dangerous ?

Do we really want to backport xorg-server ? :)

hm, maybe the dependancies can be relaxed for the backport. I'm pretty
sure it doesn't need a newer xorg-server

this should be fixed in feisty which now has 1.4.6-0ubuntu1. If you have
other issues please open new bugs, since following this one is becoming
difficult.
Now that feisty has a valid version, it can be backported to edgy.

I've got a Matrox Mystique 220, and I was experiencing the problem
described in the original report (monitor gave me Signal out of Range
when using the mga driver). The package posted by John Dong above fixes
that problem, but when I drag around windows etc. I get display errors,
as you can see on
Thanks for working on this problem, and for all those workarounds.
But, what about such people like me, who's not using i386 architecture ?
Actually I'm having the same problems with both Ubuntu Edgy (FH3 doesn't
work at all...) and Debian Etch on my powerpc64 IBM RISC 6000 box.
Any hint or
Fred:
Here is what I tried (Matrox g400)
using the regular distro packages/modules.
I shut down X (killall gdm)
I used modconf to load matroxfb_base.
I restarted X (gdm).
X works but still no 3D acceleration.
I shut down X again.
I used 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to use the kernel
Fred:
I still couldn't get it to work.
I used modconf to load matroxfb_base.
I edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer and commented out 'blacklist
matroxfb_base', i.e.
# blacklist matroxfb_base.
I configured xorg.conf with Option UseFBDev true .
I rebooted. I got the same very dark boot
Cyber Rigger :
Here is what i have done :
Modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf to add
Option UseFBDev true
Modify /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer to comment (by adding a leading #)
the line about matroxfb_base :
#blacklist matroxfb_base
This way, the matroxfb_base module will be loaded automatically
I tried the mga driver posted above by Paulo J. S. Silva.
with a g400 agp.
i.e.
http://www.ime.usp.br/~pjssilva/xserver-xorg-video-mga_1.4.2.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb
The installation worked, the 2D display worked
but I would get a total machine lockup when I tried to display 3D
animations from either
I've been using the
xserver-xorg-video-mga_1.4.4.dfsg.1-1jdong1~6.10prevu1_i386.deb

I've had some random X crashes, most noticeably with gnome-screensaver. I have
also noticed that some of the 3D animations render incorrectly. For example the

I got my g400 working WITH 3D acceleration.
I am getting a good frame rate.
I am not using a kernel framebuffer.
I'm using the driver posted above by John Dong, i.e.,

I have a G450 low profile which didn't work with the mga driver and Xorg

of any recommended updates.
None of the above solutions worked for me ie.

Have you tried to add Option UseFBDev true in your xorg.conf as explain by

With a Matrox g400 AGP my 3D acceleration is broken.
I am using the 'mga' driver.
I get this error message when attempting to start a 3D program
such as ppracer.
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
This card works fine with Dapper and Debian sarge, etch installs.

What kind of monitor are you using with the mga card?
There are lots of problems when using dvi digital panels with Matrox
cards.
Anyway, if you do see something it is different from original problem.

Update: I have discovered that the flickering problems are associated
with the framebuffer. (Perhaps because my AGP 1x interface is too
slow?) The flickering is subtle but can easily be seen by clicking on
the Quit icon to exit Ubuntu while you still have a terminal window
open, or any other
Hello,
Running Xubuntu Edgy here.
After upgrading to a G550 (AGP, single head DVI), my system suffered:-
1) crash upon display of login window
2) can't even boot the install CD
3) Xfce rodent very dark (black screen) during boot with LCD dropout - No
Signal
Thank-you Thomas for the FBDev hack
A very easy work-around is to append vga=795 as a kernel parameter in
/boot/grub/menu.lst, e.g. in the line directly after ...ro quiet
splash if you have a 1280x1024 display. Take an appropriate other value
for a different screen resolution (773 for 1024x768). This enables the
frame buffer mode
Just an update on the fixing situation... I've talked to Roderigo a bit,
and he's basically saying that currently Xorg 7.2 is his highest
priority and after that gets uploaded to feisty, he'll prepare a fiesty
package for Debian Sid's mga driver.
At that point, we can introduce the fix to
