[XFree86] MGA G450 -- not support Overlay & Xinerama simultaneously?
Hi, all. When I try to fire up both Xinerama and Overlay on my G450 32 MB, it dies with "Incompatible screens. Root window depths differ" [I'll post the whole log below.] I can get either Xinerama -or- Overlay to work just fine. Lastly, according to this link: http://calmarc3.cchem.berkeley.edu/archives/bum/02/archive/0058.html they do appear to be mutually exclusive. Is this true? Might it be fixed in 4.3? Would it work if I used two different G400's, instead of just one G450? Thanks, Ken D'Ambrosio Sr. SysAdmin Xanoptix, Inc.

Re: [XFree86] Purchase Advice Needed: Robust DVI support?
Sorry for coming late to this discussion, but I just subscribed. I happened to be going through the MGA manpage today, and noticed that it would appear that the MGA G550 is both supported, and dual DVI. What resolutions it can drive in DVI mode, I don't know, but I'm sure the Matrox site would be forthcoming. $.02, -Ken > The radeon driver code has code to handle two DVI ports however, the > cards are very rare.

[XFree86] Dual-head MGA not working.
Hi, all. I've got a Debian machine with a G450 in the AGP slot, and another in a PCI slot. (bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00 and bus 0x0003 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00, respectively). When I try to plug them both into my XF86Config file, though, I get this: (WW) MGA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:3:0:0) found Since I have the following Device section, the warning strikes me as disingenuous: Section "Device" Identifier "g450-1" Driver "mga" Screen 1 Option "SWcursor" Option "NoDDC" BusID "PCI:3:0:0" EndSection [Full XF86Config & /var/log/XFree86.0.log appended to this e-mail.] Any ideas where I might be going wrong?

[XFree86] Overlay & Xinerama?
Okay. I've tried, repeatedly (and failed thus far) to get Xinerama with 24+8 overlay working with two MGA cards. I can get Xinerama OR overlay to work with a dual-head MGA, but apparently overlay isn't supported on the second head. So I tried two cards, and can't get them both to work. Sadly, searching the archives for (dual-head|xinerama)&MGA just turns up lots of stuff about the dual-head G450 and the like, and posting here (see http://www.cubik.ca/archives/xfree86/msg00398.html for the post) elicited no responses. So: does anyone have ANY suggestion for a tried, proven, working dual-head Xinerama solution that supports 24+8 overlay? It would be much appreciated.

[XFree86] Gnome desktop, terminal problems in overlay (8+24-bit) mode.
Hello, all. I just got overlay mode working on my MGA dual-head (via two cards) setup, and it's got some problems: 1) The Gnome panel and Nautilus desktop background are both in 8-bit color mode. 2) My Gnome terminal (using monospace 10 with custom colors) and xterms have suddenly had all the text vanish. I can't even cause highlighting with the mouse where the text is to make it go reverse-video. (Though the text does paste just fine from the "clipboard", so I -know- it's there.) Other apps -- eg., Mozilla, the Gimp -- work fine. Any ideas/suggestions? I've Googled some, but haven't found anything that might actually help to remedy these issues.
