Re: Making a driver for the Matrox P650 card.
* From: Dan Ritter d...@randomstring.org * Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2018 16:11:29 -0500 > Have you tried asking Matrox? They might have someone who > can tell you definitively. Submitted this to their Web based input yesterday. One of your P650 dual output PCI cards is here and I wonder whether it can work in Debian 9. The 1.4.6 and 1.4.7 installer each fails with an error message. Any chance of either case being resolved? The log is rather long in each case. I won't try to impose it here. The reply is essentially a duplication of the information from their Web site. "For the P650, those are the supported distributions: - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 WS (updates 7 and 8) - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 WS (updates 2 and 3) - SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (sp2) - SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 - Fedora 10 - OpenSuse 10.3 and 11.1 - Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10" And "... try using one of those distributions." I won't be installing Ubuntu 8 to make an old video card work but still wonder how far a driver which makes in Ubuntu 8 is from making in Debian 9. If anyone has a tip to resolve the failure reported in my preceeding message, please let me know. Thanks, ...

Can't find what you're looing for? Simply contact us." To get an installer, I registered, logged in, traced through a hierarchy of menues to identify the requirement and ultimately got these files. mtxdriver-installer-x86_32-cvs-1.4.7.run mtxdriver-installer-x86_32-cvs-1.4.6.run Each of them contains an elaborate shell script followed by a binary archive. "sh <...>.run" extracts the archive and proceeds to attempt making the driver. The log in my previous message is from 1.4.6 whereas 1.4.7 fails earlier in the script. > Have you tried asking Matrox?

Making a driver for the Matrox P650 card.
An attempt to make the driver fails with the following log.
Is a solution feasible? Debian has evolved too far for the P650?
Thanks, ... Peter E.
