Really what it calls the card doesn't matter; what matters is what mode lines it uses for it, etc. My XF86Config file is attached in case you find it useful. Note that my X is build from a SRPM with a modified spec file to include Matrox's mga & hal drivers, which are necessary to get the most out of this card. It also includes all the stuff to get DRI working, which you may or may not find useful; to get the full shebang working as optimally as possible requires both a kernel configure & compile and getting the Matrox mga driver working. -- Jeremy Blosser # ** # Refer to the XF86Config(4/5) man page for details about the format of # this file. # ** Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.

I'm popping in on this conversation late, but if you're just worried about what card you really have, it still is probably a G450 like you expect. I know I have a G450/32 (installed it myself), but it was still detected as a G400 w/16 MB. I just corrected it all myself. -- Jeremy Blosser

Re: [expert] Matrox G450 and G400 ..
Hello Prasad. I have (I hope) a G450 in my system running Mdk 8.0, which I thought had 32 MB of RAM as well. I just started Harddrake. Like you, I have seeing it return G400 with 16MB of memory. I'm now concerned. It is a new machine and I have not tried any highspeed graphics, but I've been told that the Matrox boards don't have the fastest graphics. For that you need Nvidia or voodoo. But I'm not "into" graphics yet so I really don't know what I'm talking about. Let me know what you find out please. I will also let you what the manufacterer of my system (Advanced System Labs) says. Dean
