Bug#414403: xserver-xorg-video-mga: Error detecting memory on g200e
Could you try increasing the memory to 4, 8 or 16MB in xorg.conf by adding a VideoRam option in the Device section? Ram sizes 2048, 4096 result in corrupted display, larger ones result in sigint 11 crashes of the server. I just noted that the last commit of the xf86-video-mga driver at http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-mga.git says: Default mode on G200SE of 1024x768 @ 16bpp. The poor thing has so little VRAM that you can't do any bigger than 640x480 at 32bpp, so in the interest of having a reasonable screen size... which implies that there is no error in the ram detection, but it is indeed so low. -- Stefanos Papanicolopulos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm facing the same problem [in Ubuntu, actually]. I guess it is related to bad detection of Video RAM size: (--) MGA(0): VideoRAM: 1696 kByte ... (II) MGA(0): VESA VBE Total Mem: 1664 kB You'll notice that 1024x768x16bpp = 1536kByte, which fits in the detected RAM, while 1024x768x24bpp = 2304 kByte, which doesn't fit. Actually, I don't know the real amount of video memory, but I would be very surprised if it were so little. -- Stefanos Papanicolopulos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Actually, I don't know the real amount of video memory, but I would be very surprised if it were so little. I didn't find the exact MGA G200e model, but all the G200 I found in Matrox users guides have 8 MB (except the Millenium G200SD which has 16MB). Also the lspci output seems to indicate 8 or 16MB I/O memory: Memory at ee00 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at ef80 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Memory at ef00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8M] Could you try increasing the memory to 4, 8 or 16MB in xorg.conf by adding a VideoRam option in the Device section?
