appendum post: rc2, xorg, and matrox g550 troubles

[Didier Wiroth]

Hi,

I've downloaded the matrox linux drivers for the g550. Istalling the mga_hal.o in the 
driver directoy wasn't enough, so I overwrited the mga_drv.o file with the linux one.

Starting X worked, BUT, it was not possible to get a console back. When quitting X I 
get a blank and black screen. I need to ssh from another workstation to make a proper 
shutdown.

When I disable acpi at boot time, start X (with linux drivers) and quit X I'm able to 
get back a console. Unfortunately dual screen does not work.

What I didn't mention is that I'm using the dvi connectors of my lcds screen, perpaps 
this is also source of the problem?!

thanks for feedback, comments, tips or any help.

Hi,  
Thanks but that is actually what I tried ;-),  
without success. The screen keeps black no signal  
anymore. ctrl+alt FX can't get a console and even  
the X display was black, and I was unable to get  
working screen nor X or the console. I needed to  
ssh from another workstation to restart.  
  
I think I found temporary  workaround. Not loading  
the freebsd mga and acpi kernel module seems to  
solve some problem. At least dualscreen works now.  
I'm using the native g550 linux drivers from  
matrox.
